Lyrics

i am so unprepared
it seems so insurmountable
to get through this thing called life
so i packed up my fears
descended the stairs
and wandered out into the night

and i want to make time stand still
just long enough to let me let go a little
but the longer i wander
the stronger my hunger
to run back to your arms
and stay there forever
the rest of my life - the rest of my life

but it's so unprofessional
to be so unexceptional
i've tried to change but i'm still just the same
seems i'm bound to your spirit
and i've struggled in vain
to sever and bury this chain

and i want to make time stand still
just long enough to let me let go a little
but the longer i wander
the stronger my hunger
to run back to your arms
and stay there forever
the rest of my life - the rest of my life

when you make a career
of not exposing your weakness
that strength becomes your weakness instead
so i'm leaving my fears in the can on the corner
and abandoning all my regrets

and i want to make time stand still
just long enough to let me let go a little
but the longer i wander
the stronger my hunger
to run back to your arms - and stay there forever
the rest of my life - the rest of my life
