Is it Love or is it Lust in the space between the two of us?
Story behind the song
Some thoughts regarding Love and Lust.
Lyrics
Love or Lust
Dan Edwards 2015
What I wouldn’t do
To have you here with me,
Right in front of me.
To hold your face in my hands.
In your eyes I’d see all your needs,
Displayed so wantonly.
You’re meeting all my demands.
Now I don’t know what’s gotten into me but,
Now you’re washing over me.
You’re like the waves upon the sand.
I’m carried out, a sailor lost at sea.
Not even love is gonna rescue me.
I don’t even know who I am.
So where does Lust begin and where does Love end?
Is it somehow in the message you send?
And can they both be the same?
And is good sex a gift from God above
Or a curse from the Devil meant to complicate love?
It’s so important to name,
To attach some guilt and a little shame.
It’s always been the same.
Anticipation is what calls us back,
Is it the crutch for all the things we lack,
Or just instinctively who we are?
So, is it Love or is it Lust,
In the space between the two of us?
Is it Love…or Lust.
Is it Love or is it Lust
In the space between the two of us?
Is it Love…or is it Lust?
Is it Love…or is it Lust?
What I wouldn’t do, to have you here with me, right in front of me.
To hold your face in my hands
