My Desire Lyrics

Be my desire
I'm a frustrated man
Summon us for peace
Do what we can

Feel my desire
Favor the bold
Some of us fall to the Earth
These others roam
Beseeched by desire

Come on baby
You played me out
You played me out
What looked like your chance to leave
But you played me out
So now I gave you up
It's time for a change of heart

See my desire
No solemn moods
All of us are teammates
We stick to the rules
It's a real life desire

Come on baby
You played me out
You laid me out
That looked like your chance to leave
But you played me out
So now I gave you up
It's time for a change of heart

I'm human
I feel you
Erased

Be my desire
I'm a frustrated man
Some of us felt to the Earth
These others ran
They flee my desire

Come on baby
You played me out
You played me out
So it's time for a change of heart
You played me out
That's why I gave you up

I'm human
I feel you
Erased

I'm human
I feel you
Erased

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Amazing song. Probably my favorite from the new album. You can all stream the new album on NPR.

@Moonwink my favorite on the album is either blue supreme or everything is wrong. Beautiful album all together though, am I right?
