In 1990, the lead guitarist for Better Than Ezra, Joe Rundell, committed suicide. While this song may or may not be about his suicide; it is safe to say i...
[Verse 1]
Passed the road to your house
That you never called home
Where they turned out your lights
Though they say you'll never know
[Refrain]
I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting
[Verse 2]
When they pumped out your guts
Filled you full of those pills
You were never quite right
Deserving all the chills
Said the worst is over
Take it over again
Then they ask what went wrong
When they turn you on again
Don't they turn you on again
[Refrain]
I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting
I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting
[Verse 3]
Kick them right in the face
Make them wish they weren't born
If they bring up your name
Well they'll say you won war
Baby burst in the world
Never given a chance
Then they ask what went wrong
When you never had it right
No you never had it right
[Refrain]
I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting
I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting
[Verse 4]
Oh, the letters I've dropped off
Though they say you got them all
Finally figured out some things you'll never know
Take back your life
Let me inside
We'll find a door
If you care, if you care to anymore
[Refrain]
I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting
I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting

‘Desperately Wanting’ is a song where someone is looking back on their childhood. Specifically that song is about when I used to camp out with my friends in the summer down in the South, and you’d stay up all night causing havoc, throwing rocks at passing cars, knocking over mailboxes and vandalizin...
