Your Urge Lyrics - Maximo Park

You don't have to deny your urge 

It doesn't make you bad 

On our admission the makeweight lifted 

Stop dwelling on the past 

I think about the three of us. I wonder how we tesselate 

It would've been much wiser to allow these feelings to abate 

Empty words, so free of connotations 

All dreams come to an end 

Codify your utterance, communicate your needs 

Prepare your vocabulary 

My nervous system fails me, 

my thoughts are becoming fugitive 

When I'm in your arms, I wonder how much I can give 

The weekend is a Godsend 

The night-time is a lifeline 

Another useless fumble 

Another drunken stumble 

The pinkness 'round your iris 

Reveals that you've been crying 

But I don't know what my crime is 

I cause upset without trying 

People are judged on their mistakes 

And how much money that they make 

No-one wants to lose their youth 

In a trench like this 

Visiting the same places 

Kissing all the same faces 

Building up support 

Looking for rapport 

I empty out my pockets at the end of the night 

Another scrawled first name 

Another sense of shame 

I need to get to bed before I fail myself again 

We got too close that night and I reached out for your hand 

The night-time is a lifeline 

The weekend is a Godsend 

Another useless fumble 

Another drunken stumble 

Oh, but the pinkness near your iris 

Reveals that you've been crying 

But I don't know what my crime is 

Behind my crumbling veneer 

My strength is sapping 

My heartstrings are snapping 

My strength is sapping 

And my heartstrings are snapping
