[Verse 1]
We were parked in your car
In our neutral meeting place, the Episcopalian churchyard
I had things I’d been meaning to say
But in the dazzling winter sun that late I could feel them melt away

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And through the warm radio static
I couldn’t hear my stage directions
And the fog on the windshield
Obscured our sad reflections

[Chorus]
I felt so desperate in your arms
I felt so desperate in your arms

[Verse 2]
We were parked near some trees
And the moonlight soaked the branches in ever-deepening degrees
Had my hand in your hair
Trying to keep my cool ‘til it became too much to bear

[Pre-Chorus 2]
When we cracked the windows open
Well, the air was just so sweet
We could hear the cars ten feet away
Out there on the street
[Chorus]
I felt so desperate in your arms
I felt so desperate in your arms
I felt so desperate in your arms
I felt so desperate in your arms
