[Verse 1]
We were parked in your car
In our neutral meeting place, the Episcopalian churchyard
I had things I’d been meaning to say
But in the dazzling winter sun that late I could feel them melt away
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And through the warm radio static

And the fog on the windshield
Obscured our sad reflections

We could hear the cars ten feet away
Out there on the street
[Chorus]
I felt so desperate in your arms
I felt so desperate in your arms
I felt so desperate in your arms
I felt so desperate in your arms
So Desperate was written by John Darnielle.
