What Are You Looking For?

I walk the line of the disappointed
I celebrate when I'm in pain
My heart and mind can be disjointed
I built a bed in this hole I made
I recognize that I'm damaged
I sympathize that you are too
But I wanna breathe without feelin' so self-conscious
But it's hard when the world's starin' at you

Another piece of the puzzle, that doesn't fit
You throw your arms up, you're so d**n sick of it
What are you working for
What are you searching for
Love
You won't be thinking of cars when
You're on your death bed and dyin'
You'll only be thinkin' of what you are paying for,
What you are praying for
Love

You join the line of the getting richer
You keep your pace but it's movin' slow
You are defined by all that you have hoarded
But you're surprised it doesn't fill up the hole.

Another piece of the puzzle, that doesn't fit
You throw your arms up, you're so d**n sick of it
What are you coping for

What are you hoping for
Love
You won't be thinking of cars when
You're on your death bed and dyin'
You'll only be thinkin' of what you are paying for,
What you are praying for
Love

I'll never be what I see on the TV screen
I just keep dreaming of what I'm never gonna be
I can't think of a better way to waste my time then try

Another piece of the puzzle, that doesn't fit
You throw your arms up, you're so d**n sick of it
What are you hurtin' for
What are you searching for
Love love love love
You won't be thinking of cars when
You're on your death bed and dyin'
You'll only be thinkin' of what you are paying for,
What you are praying for
Love love love love

You won't be thinkin' of cars when
You're on your death bed and dyin'
You'll only be thinkin' of what are you workin' for,
What are you waitin' for

...you know, I had no idea 'd*mn' was a bad word until I heard my cousin's edited version of this song (because he's eleven... don't want to mess up his head ) lol

great lyrics to a great song.

When I first got the cd, that was definitally an instant favorite for me. Probably one of the most relatable songs i've ever heard.

"I wanna breathe without feeling so self conscious, but it's hard when the world's staring at you'! That's worthy of a tattoo for me, someday...

Love this song, but the "You won't be thinking of cars when you're on your death bed and dyin'" throws me off every time. I'm not sure who would be thinking about cars before their death.

I can feel it... I'm gonna die... Toyota Prius...silver prius...this is my last breath....2002 Toyota Prius...

OMG lol that's fantastic! Prius.....lol

I would absolutely DIE if someone said that as they were dying! I would feel bad as I was laughing, but I just would not be able to help it! lmao

For a long time I actually didn't own the store cd and had the promo disc that came in a cardboard sleeve so I didn't have the lyrics and just kinda figured them out...or so I thought anyways. I didn't know till like October last year that it was "You won't be thinking of cars when," because of Shim's falsetto, I thought it was, "You won't be thinking because when."

This song means ALOT to me.
<3

This song was my anthem for about six months of my life D:

but, on the funny notw, Meredith...You are of Epic proportions....That is all.

This is my second favorite song on the album right after my world.
I just love the melody of it, and thats what every one is looking for right?
