I've been watching and waiting and begging for happier times I've been dreaming about it Basement shaking and eating my way through life Nothing dreamy about it Kicking the stairs every time that i walk 'round this house Yeah I'm feeling the thoughts hit Sniffing my way trough the sobering closed in times There's a feeling about it I don't wanna live forever I don't wanna live anymore no I don't wanna live forever I don't wanna live anymore no Stepping in shit Suffocating between brick walls Family pressure is eating away at my soul But when clocks come banging in And the saints go marching in There's a pavement walkway leading me to the greenhouse I don't wanna live forever I don't wanna live anymore no I don't wanna live forever I don't wanna live anymore no I don't wanna live forever I don't wanna live anymore no I don't wanna live forever I don't wanna live anymore no Sweet imperfections You keep my soul swimming And theres hand me downs waiting I'm slipping off the railings and caving in But sweet imperfections You keep my soul swimming
