| I’m holding on by a thread, I’m held together by tape
|
| I’d love something more permanent, but I don’t wanna raise the stakes
|
| I don’t wanna fight, I don’t wanna fight
|
| I don’t wanna fight, I don’t wanna fight
|
| And what is all this work for but instant satisfaction
|
| Are these seams worth the ache, and all the wasted effort
|
| But we are the chosen few
|
| We’re born to be pompous, born to be heard
|
| And we love it, don’t we; |
| the famous taste of fame
|
| Begging every jaded journalist to write your name
|
| And we’ll just back down
|
| And the sons, and the doctors, and lawyers‘ll get there first
|
| With every love song
|
| With every lost friend
|
| We scream with mouths shut that
|
| We’ll do better, we’ll do better now
|
| Don’t know what good is
|
| Don’t know what great means
|
| But til' we find it
|
| We’ll do better, we’ll do better now
|
| I’m holding on by a thread, I’m held together by tape
|
| I’d love something more permanent, but I don’t wanna raise the stakes
|
| I don’t wanna fight, I don’t wanna fight
|
| I don’t wanna fight, I don’t wanna fight
|
| When everything was hopeful (I don’t wanna fight)
|
| And everything was promised (I don’t wanna fight)
|
| When you believed that people told you (I don’t wanna fight)
|
| You were born to do this (I don’t wanna fight)
|
| Before you planned it out (I don’t wanna fight)
|
| Before you signed the papers (I don’t wanna fight)
|
| Before we realized that (I don’t wanna fight)
|
| Ignorance is so much safer (I don’t wanna fight)
|
| I’m so tired of screaming (I don’t wanna fight)
|
| I’m so tired of wishing (I don’t wanna fight)
|
| That a cadillac in a cul-de-sac (I don’t wanna fight)
|
| Would be a life worth living (I don’t wanna fight)
|
| Another girl is waiting (I don’t wanna fight)
|
| Hiding in empty space and (I don’t wanna fight)
|
| She is chasing her dreams while
|
| I am chasing all these lines in my face
|
| I don’t wanna die, I don’t wanna die
|
| I don’t wanna die, I don’t wanna die
|
| With every love song
|
| With every lost friend
|
| We scream with mouths shut that
|
| We’ll do better, we’ll do better now
|
| Don’t know what good is
|
| Don’t know what great means
|
| But til' we find it
|
| We’ll do better, we’ll do better now
|
| Another love song (another lost friend)
|
| Another lost friend (we scream with mouth shut that we’ll do better,
|
| we’ll do better now)
|
| Another love song (don't know what good is, don’t know what great means)
|
| We scream with mouth shut that we’ll do better, we’ll do better now |
