the best you can is good enough
you can try the best you can
you can try the best you can
the best you can is good enough

in this beautiful world
living in a fantasy world
living in a fantasy world

everyone wants to be the same

cheap sex and sad films
help me get where i belong

letters always get burned
it's not like the movies
they fed us on little white lies
i think you're crazy, maybe
i think you're crazy, maybe
i will see you in the next life
