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)
