Better by design
Better everyday
Sleep and exercise
A Summer holiday
A closet full of clothes
Drugs to make your hairline grow
A wife at your side
Its on your morning drive
Its in your morning drink
Your hidden cigarettes
You close your eyes and think
That this is not the way
You thought about your perfect day
And you fantasize
Where are you going? You're not the man you used to be
Have you been hoping for someone to kick you while you
Sleepwalk through the day
And pull yourself away from what you need
Stop dreaming
Welcome to this perfect life
I hope the straps don't pull too tight
Walk around the grounds you'll see
A life mapped out so carefully
You'll never stay up late
Always have to pay for parking
Dishes by design
Nightmares over Christmas shopping
Watching, waiting, hesitating
Budgeting your days remaining
Wake yourself up, or be gone for good!
Before we learn to speak
Before we learn to stand
We learn to turn our heads
Like disappointed men
Who must believe that there's a better situation
Out there waiting for them
Another morning, another chance to make a change
Your heart is broken, but your eyes just look the other way
Convince yourself
Its never gonna be the way you want
Stop running
Because another year will surely pass you by
No matter what you eat, or where you exercise
Your clever mind, can't sleep forever
Open your eyes
You'll never stay up late
Always have to pay for parking
Dishes by Design
Nightmares over Christmas shopping
Watching, waiting, hesitating
Budgeting your days remaining
Wake yourself up, or be gone for good!
Wake yourself up, or be gone for good
