More Than This, by The Cure

For a second of your life

Tell me that it's true

Waiting for a sign

It's all I want of you

Your heart hides a secret

A promise of what is

Of something more than this

Just a second of your time

Any one will do

A taste of any other

Is all I want from you

Offer me the world

And how can I resist

Something more than this?

Make-believe in magic

Make-believe in dreams

Make-believe -- Impossible

Nothing as it seems

See, touch, taste, smell, hear

But never know if it's real (But never know if it's real)

For a second of your life

Tell me if it's true

Anywhere we are

Is all I want of you

On your lips lies a secret

A promise of a kiss

Of something more than this

Just a second of your time

Any one will do

To know from any other

Is all I want from you

You've given me the world

You know I can't resist

Something more than this

Make-believe in magic

Make-believe in dreams

Make-believe -- Impossible

Nothing as it seems

Never really understand

What anything means (What anything means)

Another second of my life

Not knowing if it's true

Make-believe in nothing

Is all I want of you

Whispering the secret

Whispering there is

Always something other

Something more than this

I've been listening to this song a lot lately. There was a time in my life when the emotion/longing described in this song was at the forefront of my mind all the time, and I listened to this song a lot then too. One of the reasons I've always loved The Cure so much is that a lot of their songs really resonate with me. Not too deep but not too shallow either, and there's a heart-on-your-sleeve quality to a lot of them in addition to a rawness, which I generally think of as intrinsic characteristics of passion.

I also love The Cure because Robert Smith is a hottie. Oh, right, and also a genius. But, yeah. A hottie. He looks like he'd be ready to cuddle and take a nap at any moment, and he has a killer smile that he sort of saves up and suddenly unleashes when you're not expecting it. My kind of guy.
