[Intro — whispered] You have that look again The one that makes good sense Leave the room [Verse 1] Midnight pours through the blinds In thin silver ribbons Your shadow crosses mine Like it has somewhere to be You say, “We shouldn't…” So beautifully I almost believe you Then you smile And there goes The last sensible thought I had this evening [Pre-Chorus] There is something feral Under all this grace A little animal Wearing your face And I know better I do I simply don't feel like Being better tonight [Chorus] Wild desire Quiet as a secret Loud as my pulse You don't have to touch me To ruin my composure You just have to look Wild desire My sweet little trouble My elegant mistake If wanting you is foolish Darling I've been remarkably foolish All night [Verse 2] Your laughter falls Into the empty glass And somehow Makes the room warmer I study your mouth Like an old poem I've pretended not to understand You move closer By an inch An inch is nothing Until it isn't Now the air between us Has forgotten How to behave [Pre-Chorus] You ask what I'm thinking I lie I say, “Nothing” Which is impressive Considering You're practically The entire subject [Chorus] Wild desire Soft as a confession Sharp as a dare I could call it madness But madness sounds Too organized This is something stranger Wild desire Pulling at the quiet Underneath my skin You smile like innocence Which, frankly, Is becoming suspicious [Bridge — very intimate, free-time] Don't move Let the night Keep guessing Let the clock Feel important We have nowhere To be honest Until morning And morning Has always been A little too ambitious [Final Chorus — husky, breathless] Wild desire Don't dress it up Don't give it a name Let it sit between us Like smoke Like music Like a beautiful mistake Wild desire You look at me I forget my manners I forget my reasons I remember Why I came [Outro — whispered] Stay there... No... Come closer I promise I'll regret it beautifully
