Sudden Desire Lyrics

I wanted him to kiss me how
With open mouth and open mouth
We keep our distance now
I wanna feel his hands go down
I try not to think about
What happened last night outside his house
Too far to go back now
Just wanna feel his hands go down

Sudden, sudden desire
Sudden, sudden desire
A sudden desire

Take the elephant by the hand and hold it
It's cruel to tame a thing that don't know its strength
But better to walk beside it
Mm, than underneath
My kind companion
Softens stone
My gentle giant
Painful reminder

Don't look in my eyes, I feel a sudden desire (sudden, sudden desire)
Don't know if I can deny a sudden desire (sudden, sudden desire)
Your fingerprints on my skin, a painful reminder
Don't look in my eyes, I feel a sudden desire (sudden, sudden desire)
A sudden desire

Won't fit in the room, big balloon
Trails me 'cause I can't let go
Everywhere I am, it sticks close like a friend
Just like him
Just like him

Friendly reminder
Of a sudden desire

Don't look in my eyes, I feel a sudden desire (sudden, sudden desire)
Don't know if I can deny a sudden desire (sudden, sudden desire)
Your fingerprints on my skin, a painful reminder
Don't look in my eyes, I feel a sudden desire (sudden, sudden desire)
A sudden desire

I wanted him to kiss me how
With open mouth, an open mouth
We keep our distance now
I wanna feel his hand go down
I try not to think about
What happened last night outside his house
Too far to go back now
Just wanna feel his hands go down
