The Longing Lyrics
The longing is a pain
A heavy pressure on my chest
It rarely leaves
My day becomes a quest
To try not to think about her
And all that she brings
Forget about her magic
All the beautiful things
Surely there are other
Things to life
But I can't think of
One single thing
That matters more
Than just to see her
Just to see her
Her smile, her touch
Her smell
Her laugh
The longing is a friend
A way to stay close
And feel like she's here
And feel like she knows
That when I say I would die for her
It's not just words; I really would
And to make the world a safer place for her
Well, I believe I really could
Surely there are other
Things to life
But I can't think of
One single thing
That matters more
Than just to see her
To see her
Her tears, her sorrow
Her faults
Her doubts
I love them all
A heavy pressure on my chest
It rarely leaves
My day becomes a quest
To try not to think about her
And all that she brings
Forget about her magic
All the beautiful things
Things to life
But I can't think of
One single thing
That matters more
Than just to see her
Just to see her
Her smile, her touch
Her smell
Her laugh
A way to stay close
And feel like she's here
And feel like she knows
That when I say I would die for her
It's not just words; I really would
And to make the world a safer place for her
Well, I believe I really could
Things to life
But I can't think of
One single thing
That matters more
Than just to see her
To see her
Her tears, her sorrow
Her faults
Her doubts

This must be one of the most accurate songs about longing and desire i've ever heard.
"My day becomes a quest To try not to think about her And all that she brings Forget about her magic All the beautiful things"
Hit the nail right on the head. So hard to try and not think about.... her :-(
"But I can't think of One single thing That matters more Than just to see her
Her tears, her sorrow Her faults Her doubts"

My girlfriend just broke up with me and I can really relate to this song now. For me it is about desiring a girl, but at the same time knowing you can't have her. All of the feelings related to this are described in this song in a very accurate way.
'The longing is a pain' (...) 'The longing is a friend'
The way in which your memories of her can make you smile, but at the same time torture you.
Amazing song.
this song is definetely about unrequited love.
I don't know why, but I have always thought this song was about the death of his sister. "The longing is a friend A way to stay close And feel like she's here And feel like she knows" It perfectly describes the feeling of grief when you are desperate to stay close to them.
