[Verse 1: Julia Stone]
I tell you that I want you
That I've loved you for so long now
I stand before you
My eyes they fall to the ground
I am a coward here
In these feelings I've found
But I want to be braver
I won't play you like a card in my hand
I want to be real
So you know where I stand

[Chorus: Angus & Julia Stone]
Somehow
This day is not mine to break
And I must learn now
There are some things I cannot take
Somehow
This time is not mine to choose
And I must learn now
Sometimes it's okay to lose

[Post-Chorus: Angus & Julia Stone, Julia Stone]
Desire
It's burning my heart
Desire
It's tearing this old house apart
But it feels so good
It feels so bad
It feels so good
Why do I feel so sad?
I wouldn't change a thing
I don't need to survive
I wouldn't change a thing
I'm gonna burn alive
[Verse 2: Julia Stone]
I'll make you a tea now
You're folding your arms
I'm feeling empty
I'm feeling alarmed
But I'm gonna stay right here
I have found something new
Out in the darkness all alone
But with the light of loving you

[Chorus: Angus & Julia Stone]
Somehow
This day is not mine to break
And I must learn now
There are some things I cannot take
Somehow
This time is not mine to choose
And I must learn now
Sometimes it's okay to lose

[Post-Chorus: Angus & Julia Stone, Julia Stone, Angus Stone]
Desire
It's burning my heart
Desire
It's tearing this old house apart
But it feels so good (Desire)
It feels so bad
Darling it feels so good (Desire)
Why do I feel so sad
I wouldn't change a thing (Desire)
I don't need to survive
I wouldn't change a thing
I'm gonna burn alive
I wouldn't change a thing
I don't need to survive
I wouldn't change a thing
I'm gonna burn alive
