Desire is a romantic lyric about the ins and outs of falling in love with someone. Melodic and sweet, Desire makes the mind wonder while reading and brings back moments that one would feel the first time they fell in love. Those small moments in privacy where only two souls can really entwine. The elaborate verses mix well with the simplified chorus creating an intoxicating mixture and complex wording to leave the mind wondering what's behind the writing.
