Verse 1

Cigarette smoke in the blue light

Your gloom dancing on the wall

I tried to eat, but my hands just shake

Your name’s the hunger in my jaw

You laugh soft, like a vinyl hiss

Needle falling through my chest

Every kiss tastes dangerous

Like I don’t need nothing else

Pre-Chorus

I’ve loved before, but never like this

Never starved in a crowded room

I don’t crave wine, I don’t crave gold

I got an appetite for you

Chorus

I got an appetite for you, baby

Can’t be filled, can’t be fed

Every touch just leaves me wanting

Every word you leave unsaid

I’ve tasted heaven, tasted ruin

Still I’m coming back for more

I got an appetite for you, baby

Hungry like I never was before

Verse 2

Midnight radio crying low

Old love songs we pretend ain’t us

Your fingers trace my open palms

Like you know where I’ve been touched

I try to act like I’m satisfied

Like I’ve had my share of love

But every time you say my name

It ain’t never enough

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need prayers, I don’t need truth

I don’t need proof of what we do

I just need you leaning closer

I got an appetite for you

Chorus

I got an appetite for you, baby

Sweet and slow and hard to tame

Every kiss burns through my reason

Every night I call your name

I don’t want saving, don’t want curing

I don’t want my hunger gone

I got an appetite for you, baby

And I’ve been starving far too long

Bridge

If loving you’s a bad habit

Let me wear it like a bruise

I don’t want a clean devotion

I want the mess of me and you

Final Chorus

I got an appetite for you, baby

No restraint, no disguise

If love is something you can die from

Then let me die in your eyes

Don’t feed me promises tomorrow

Just give me tonight, right now

I got an appetite for you, baby

And I don’t wanna calm it down

Outro

Lights fade low, the night’s still young

I’m full of want, but empty too

Yeah, I’ve tasted love…

But I got an appetite for you
