Desperately
Michelle Branch; Santana Lyrics

Something 'bout the way you looked at me
The singer was struck by the certain way that the person in question gazed at them.

Made me think for a moment
It caused the singer to consider a possibility.

That maybe we were meant to be
That there might have been a destiny that led them to each other.

Living our lives separately
Despite visualizations, they ended up going about their separate life paths.

And it's strange that things change
It's curious that life circumstances transform.

But not me wanting you so desperately
The singer still yearns for the individual.

Oh why can't I ingore it?
The singer wishes they could disregard their emotions and move on.

I keep giving in but I should've known better
They keep giving another chance even though there's a higher risk of getting hurt again.

'cause there was something 'bout the way you looked at me
Their gaze held a captivating essence that still lures the singer towards them.

You looked my way and said, 'you frustrate me'
The person expressed an emotion in a conversation.

Like you're thinking of lines and times when you and I were you and me
Their reminiscent thoughts are brought back to the moments they spent together.

We took our chance out on the street
They took a risk and tried to pursue something unconventional, perhaps outside of societal norms.

Then I missed my chance
The singer didn't take advantage of the opportunity that presented itself.

And chances are it won't be coming back to me
The probability of another chance occurring is low.

I want you so desperately
The singer's emotions are fueled by an intense longing for the individual.

I keep giving in but I should know better
The singer keeps acknowledging that their behavior is perhaps irrational or unhealthy.

So desperately
The intensity and the desperateness of their desire is all-consuming.
