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)
