Desperate Guys - The Faint

Was it more than attraction

And a physical lust?

Her loins, my imagination

That first inconceivable touch

That I was planning

I mean wishing

How embarrassed I’d have been

If you knew what I was thinking

And, whoa, when it started

My first thought was love

And not just lust

Because when I heard you speak

I felt warm

In the evening I saw you

You were warming the bass up

Your hair covered your face up

I was acting indifferent at the merch booth

Putting on makeup

We met up at a party

In a swamp, on a yacht

I spun the helm but we were docked

I crossed my fingers

But I didn’t beg

Because I knew you knew

Because I knew you knew I liked you

I knew you knew I liked you

I knew you knew it

But I figured desperate guys

Never had a chance with you

I figured desperate guys

Never had a chance with you

Close to you, wishing

We’re conjoined at the tongue

Can you hear me thinking?

I should stop

I crossed my fingers

But I didn’t beg

Because I knew you knew

Because I knew you knew I liked you

I knew you knew I liked you

I knew you knew it

But I figured desperate guys

Never had a chance

I knew you knew I liked you

I knew you knew it

Because I figured desperate guys

Never had a chance with you

I figured desperate guys

Never had a chance with you

I knew that desperate guys

Would never have a chance with you
