The Longing

My heart is thumpin' inside of my chest
My temple is burnin' and it's dripping with sweat
My mind is spinning, yeah swimmin' around
My tongue's dried up like I've been licking the ground

It's the longing, the longing for you
It's the longing

The hole in my chest, yeah, it twists like a knife
Taking over my body, taking over my life
I can't think of nothing, no one else gonna do
I'm haunted by the livin', yeah, wanting you

It's the longing, the longing for you
It's the longing, the longing for you
It's the longing, the longing for you
It's the longing, the longing for you

Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you
Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you
Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you
Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you

The moon can move the ocean, could it get me to you?
I've got myself the notion that you long for me too
Gonna drag every limb of my body to sea
If just one wave can push me closer to thee

It's the longing, the longing for you
It's the longing, the longing for you
It's the longing, the longing for you
It's the longing, the longing for you, yeah

My tongue's dried up and it's hanging down, yeah
Pacin' the floor like I'm a dog on the prowl, yeah
Looking at the moon and I'm wanting to howl, yeah
Under your spell, want to be under you now

It's the longing, the longing for you
It's the longing, the longing for you
It's the longing, the longing for you
It's the longing

Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you
Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you
Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you
Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you

Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you
Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you
Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you
Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you
Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you
Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you
