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 'Cause 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)
