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
