This Yearning Thing

This yearning thing I fear will take me under

Like the pull I feel when you are near me

Catastrophic lovely hurting thing I feel for you

This yearning thing

It holds me close and sometimes makes me wonder

When the special one that you adore

Will someday someday soon embrace the heartache that you bring

This yearning thing

This yearning thing is a pain that never goes

This yearning thing, it just grows and grows and grows

Evermore alive and lingering

This yearning thing

This yearning thing must be some kind of hunger

It shadows me and mesmerizes

Pretty jagged painful bittersweetness on a wing

This yearning thing

It lets me go and never makes me notice

That the time to go has long since passed

Pressing down upon this so with nothing that remains

This yearning thing

This yearning thing is a pain that never goes

This yearning thing, it just grows and grows and grows

Evermore alive and lingering

This yearning thing

This yearning thing
