The Hunger

(John Clayton)

Some resist others need for giving commitments or saying what exists today will always be there in the future. Of course we can never know but there are those who just need to hear it to feel a sense of security. These lyrics explore a relationship from that perspective.

No promises, no guarantees
Just today, and maybe tomorrow
That's the piece you'll get of me
So please don't worry
There's no need to cry
Just call my name
I'll be right by your side

***Chorus***
Just keep it long and loose
Keep it fast and free
And the hunger will still
Bring me back you'll see
Yeah, keep it light and new
Just keep it simple and true
And the hunger will always
Bring me back to you

I can put it on paper
I can write it in stone
Will that change the future
I don't think that it's so
I know today I love you
But tomorrow is forever
So how can I know

I know what you're asking
And I wish I could give you
What you want to hear
But is that really the way
Or just what we fear
So just take what I can give
That's how our love can live
