Lyrics:

Looking in my eyes
Can't you see my desperation?
Sweating all night between the sheets
In a bed of perspiration
Thinking about love
And wondering how it could be
Reaching out to touch
And wishing that you were here with me

Desperate hearts filled with desire
Burning all night by the light of the flame of the fire
Running for my life
I got to finish what I start
Holding on tight to the hopes of love
With a desperate heart

Looking in your eyes
I can see that you're screaming
Tired from the fight that you had last night
With your demons
Swimming in the pain
Of love's sweet misery
Calling out the name of the one you want to meet

Desperate hearts filled with desire
Burning all night by the light of the flame of the fire
Running for your life
You got to finish what you start
Holding on tight to the hopes of love
With a desperate heart

Do you count your dreams as they pass you by?
Can you count the stars as they twinkle in the sky?
If you knew the truth could you live a lie?
No excuses
No reason why

Looking in our eyes
They can see all the passion
Flying on a plane that catches fire
And soon it will be crashing
Maybe we're in love
Or maybe we're both just fools
Maybe it's enough
Or maybe there's nothing else to do

Desperate hearts filled with desire
Burning all night by the light of the flame of the fire
Running for our lives
We got to finish what we start
Holding on tight to the hopes of love
With a desperate heart

Holding on tight to the hopes of love
With a desperate heart
