Temporary Love
Joey Lyrics

All I really want
My true desire is

Is sex in the morning, sun
To intimately engage in physical pleasure during the early hours of daylight

And confidence
As well as a sense of self-assurance

Maybe some caffeine and compliments
Perhaps some stimulating substances and affirming words

Cause I'm
Because I am

Easy going son
A relaxed and carefree individual

Just always on the run
Constantly in motion

And on the mend
In a state of healing

I'm out of breath again
Exhausted once more

Cause I'm
Because I am

Burning, burning, burning, burning
Immersed in intense emotions and passions

Out the flame
Extinguishing the fire within

Its the game
This is the nature of the pursuit

And I'm running, running, running, running
Continuously striving and fleeing

Just the same
Regardless of the outcome

But at least I came
At least I experienced some form of satisfaction

I could just hold you tight enough
I have the capacity to embrace you with sufficient strength

Even though they said I give crooked love
Despite the criticisms that my affection is flawed

I'll be your man
I am willing to be the partner you seek

But you can't, you can't
However, you are incapable, unable

Believe anything that you see
To have faith in the authenticity of what you observe

Just affection displayed on TV
Merely a portrayal of love exhibited on television

Oh I tried
Oh, I made an effort

Oh I try, I try
Oh, I persist, I make attempts

My paper thin skin is doing me in
My vulnerable and easily affected disposition is causing my downfall

It's too late to let someone know me like you did
There is no longer an opportunity to allow another person to understand me as deeply as you once did
