Story Behind the Song
After the breakup of my first relationship,
I guess I was just feeling kind of down one day when this song came into my head. It summed up the way I felt and so I put pen to paper and composed
Lyrics
Verse 1
Yesterday’s today’s seem so far away
that I have trouble remembering when
Fields were green and skies were blue
and there was nothing in the way of you and me and then...
Chorus 1 (sung quietly)
Desperation, Desperation in the air
Verse 2
Words of fire from an ice cold tongue
did their damage and left me hung
From a noose I’d tied with my own lies
my fate to me had finally come...
Chorus 2 (loud)
Desperation, desperation in your eyes,
Desperation, mad frustration at my lies...
Verse 3
Well you said bye and I think I cried
and then you were gone and I was left so alone.
So tonight I’m drinking to aid my sinking
and help me forget all the sadness I’ve known.
Chorus 3
Desperation, desperation in the air,
Desperation, mad frustration everywhere.
Desperation, desperation in your eyes,
Desperation, mad frustration at my lies.
Desperation, desperation everywhere…
Everywhere…
Everywhere…
Everywhere…
