"Desire" by Ted Donat/David Sasscer

You can't sleep through a fire
Can't sleep through desire
I just can't seem to let you go

You can't stop a commotion
You can't hold back, can’t hold back the ocean
Can't stop this emotion from pouring out

(chorus)
And if the fire burns too high
All my memories of you will explode and divide
And if the fire burns in you
I'll feel it, too

I had good intentions
Of dissecting these tensions
Of alarming dimensions
But I failed

(chorus)
And if the fire burns too high
All my memories of you will explode and divide
And if the fire burns in you
I'll feel it, too

(bridge)
But if I can't touch you
Then I won't let you
Wind me up
And put me down

I got to thinkin' about you
How I swore that I couldn't live without you
I guess I never imagined I'd survive

(chorus)
And if the fire burns today
I will let all the traces of you burn away
And if the fire's forever gone
That's alright, too
