Deserted
The clock just ticks incessantly and I can't take the drought
Every second's a reminder of what I'm living without
The days pass by too slowly as if time's about to stop
Water, I need water, but you didn't leave a drop
This desert air is too damn dry, oh, how I miss the rain
Shower me with your love, please, before I go insane
The sun beats down, the heat is just too much for me to bear
Let a flood wash over me, need you to take me there
I can't relieve the pressure building in this heart of mine
It beats for you, and only you, please, just give me a sign
Need to know you'll be home soon, be back here next to me
Tell me this oasis isn't just a reverie
I can smell your skin as if it's floating in the breeze
I turn to kiss your lips and, almost instantly, I freeze
With beads of sweat I wake to find I never was asleep
Hallucinations make me crazy, cause my eyes to weep
This loneliness, a sandstorm that burries me alive
If you don't come back to me, how will I survive?
Day fades into darkness, I have wished on every star
I need you to quench my thirst, I pray you aren't far
This craving tortures me at night, to be wrapped up in you
Need to feel your arms, need you to touch me like you do
A piece of me is missing, there's a dull, but constant ache
Oh, what I wouldn't give to run and jump into your lake
Drown myself within you, rehydrating my soul
Take back what I lost when you left, making myself whole
Each hour, an eternity, sweet darlin', please return
Baking under blinding rays, gradually, I burn
This emptiness is unlike anything I've ever known
And I realize that I just wasn't made to be alone
The clock just ticks incessantly, I know what it's about
Every second's a reminder of what I'm living without
