“Desire” details getting out of a relationship with a person that you can’t lose feelings for, and it seems like they can’t either.
This was the third single from Communion, Years & Years' debut studio album. It originally appeared as the opening track from their first extended play, Y & Y....
[Intro]
Oh, oh
Oh
Oh, oh
Oh
[Verse 1]
I must be tough
I must behave, I must keep fighting
Don't give it up
I want to keep us compromising
Open your arms and pray
To the truth that you're denying
Give in to the game
To the sense that you've been hiding
[Pre-Chorus]
Where are you taking me? I can't be blamed
I want you to want me again
[Chorus]
Is it desire
Or is it love that I'm feeling for you?
I want desire
'Cause your love only gets me abused
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh
Oh
[Verse 2]
Give me that rush
I want to show you what you've been missing
Am I enough
To keep your other lovers hidden?
[Pre-Chorus]
Where are you taking me? I can't be blamed
I want you to want me again
[Chorus]
Is it desire
Or is it love that I'm feeling for you?
I want desire
'Cause your love only gets me abused
Is it desire (Is it desire)
Or is it love that I'm feeling for you?
I want desire
I wanna see what you're willing to lose
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh
Oh
[Bridge]
You know that you've got me, you've locked me down (Oh, oh)
You tell me you want me, you need it now (Oh)
You know that you've got me, you've locked me down (Oh, oh)
You tell me you want me now (Oh)
[Chorus]
Is it desire (It desire)
Or is it love that I'm feeling for you?
I want desire (I want desire)
'Cause your love only gets me abused
Is it desire (Is it desire)
Or is it love that I'm feeling for you? (Oh, I'm feeling for you)
I want desire
I wanna see what you're willing to lose (Oh, what you're willing to lose)
[Outro]
Oh, oh
Oh
Oh, oh
Oh
Desire was written by Olly Alexander & Emre Türkmen & Michael Goldsworthy & Kid Harpoon.
Desire was produced by Mark Ralph & Two Inch Punch.
Olly Alexander released Desire on Tue Oct 07 2014.
This is the third single released by the band. “We started writing the chorus first, which isn’t usually how we write, as ‘desire’ became the hook and statement,” Alexander explained. “The track reminded us of those big ‘90s house tunes, which we took a lot of inspiration from, including Chicago hou...
