  • Can I, should I, find my way home?
    Or did I, think I, better go home?
    All I, said I, needed was God
    But I, thought I, had it all wrong

    Now can it, ever, be the same way?
    When they never seem to forgive
    So it hurt more that you said
    On the dark side of your head
    Oh, she is following me in my head, but I am all alone
    Thinking I'll fall every time I wanna try to let her go
    It's never easy when you think you're in control
    Somehow you get caught up in the moment and you never know
    All these tiny cities that you're holding in your little hand
    In the wind like diamond lights, they'll blow away in desert sand
    It was never perfect, it was never meant to last
    It was never perfect, it was never meant to last

    It was never perfect, it was never meant to last
    It was never perfect, it was never meant to last
    It was never perfect, it was never meant to last
    It was never perfect, it was never meant to last

    Why can't I fall down into the hole (Gotta get it, back back)
    Why can't I fall down into the hole (Gotta get it, back back)

    Can I ever get ahead of what I want and what I need?
    And what do I have to do to get away from what is killing me?
    How can I convince myself to not believe in what I know?
    When all I see is dominoes falling up it as we go Writer/s: BECK DAVID HANSEN, HARLEY EDWARD STRETEN
