Analysis of Desert Flower (Magic Rain)



I cannot fight this feeling of needing
To see you again and again and again
Just like a flower needs water
I crave it, I want it, I need it
To me your touch is like magic rain

A rain of comfort
A wave of excitement
A tsunami of senses
A storm that could last

Cause being in the eye of the storm is a feeling
that reminds me
What it feels like to be home again
What it feels like to have an alive heart

So take over me like a hurricane
Take me by the roots
No matter how much it hurts
and set my soul free

I don't want to live in the desert
I don't belong here
Fly with me, take me higher
Take me somewhere we can just be
