lyrics

If I could convince you I'm worth the time
Maybe I could get on board with that
I need you to be first in line
To be honest with you
I don't know what to look for
But I could stare all day
Talk to potential candidates
But which one says it all
So much pressure
Just make up your mind

Maybe in a different life I'd find
I don't have to worry
Finally recognize what I just can't believe
Maybe on another try I'd find
I shouldn't be sorry
Maybe perfection only matters to me

What difference would it make
Do your thoughts all translate
Is it always tomorrow
Self-imposed
I gave you a break
And now you owe me one
No problem
Why don't you show me one
You see it never stops
I try everything
What does it take

Maybe in a different life I'd find
I don't have to worry
Finally recognize what I just can't believe
Maybe on another try I'd find
I shouldn't be sorry
Maybe perfection only matters to me

How many hours do I have to spend
Do I really feel better when I talk with a friend
I'm not missing the point, since I was a boy
I tried to find a way to make it end
I know it helps to let it all out
But I'm dying to tell you I have serious doubts
There's anything about me you could ever really change
I can't turn the page

(Do you have to spend
Caught in a web
Help me get out
Never be able)
