Built for Longing

Terrified I am

Every single day

Petrified I am

And I'm not wood or clay

How long you ask

Heavy like rock and glass

Are we expected to swim

While we are drowning within

Don't ask how long

We're built for longing

Don't ask how long

We're built for longing

We can fantasize

About a good man and try

Try to float not sink

Through our lives

And I think

Everyone can sympathize

We all want the sun and skies

Maybe a baby or two

A better life I promise you

Don't ask how long

We're built for longing

Don't ask how long

Cause every answer's wrong

You and me

Are made for wanting

We're always gonna want for something

Everyone can sympathize

We want the moon and the skies

Start again our lives brand new

The life I used to come home to

Don't ask how long

We're built for longing

Don't ask how long

Cause every answer's wrong

You and me

Are made for wanting

We're always gonna want for something

We are made for the wanting

We'll always want for something

We are made for the wanting

Built for longing
