So you quit another job

and you save another cat

You know that I'll always respect you

At least for that

Take another toke

Offer some to me

How many times do I have to tell you

it alienates me?

You say it's just a phase

Well how long will this one take

I might be in a rush

but I got a biological tick

that I just can't seem to hush.....

CHORUS:

I wanna be light and I wanna see red

wanna feel the pounding in my chest

I wanna be better than I am

I wanna know now and I don't wanna wait

I'm tired of holding out for fate

Oh I hope you understand

I wanna be better than I am



So I pack up all my clothes

and I give you back your ring

Then you look at me like the first time

you ever saw me sing

Write another song, offer up my soul

How many times do they have to tell us

we're taking a hard road

Then you hold me like a rose

Don't mean to hurt you but I know

sometimes love gets tired

And all we really need...

is to be inspired

CHORUS:

I wanna be light and I wanna see red

Wanna feel the pounding in my chest

I wanna be better than I am

Yeah I wanna know now and I don't wanna wait

Cuz I'm scared I'll be too late

Oh I hope you understand

I wanna be better than I am



Maybe it's my curse in life

that I'm never satisfied

Maybe I want too much

Or maybe it's just my luck

I'm the desert and you're the sea

There's so much between you and me

What am I looking for...

Maybe a mystery



(Repeat chorus)
