better than i am lyrics

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)
