The rush is always better before they pull the curtain
Birthdays always let me down
The touch in the beginning, when we were still nervous
It's all I think about

Anticipation, thrill of waiting
Perfect out of reach, I crave it

Keep chasing what I'm not
Finding fault in paradise
It's never good enough
Wishing away all my life
Always found wanting
Always found wanting

I like before and never after, when questions go unanswered
The details that you're leaving out
The book before I read it, the food before I eat it
Ideas before I say them out loud

Anticipation, thrill of waiting
Reaching out
Oh, God, I crave it
(Oh, God, I crave it)

Keep chasing what I'm not
Finding fault in paradise (paradise)
It's never good enough
Wishing away all my life
Always found wanting
Always found wanting
Wanting
Always found wanting

Wait, why can't I just stay?
Obsessed with the moment
The present so potent
Devour the taste
Wait, I'm trying to break
Out of the static
Pull myself past it
Let it all fade

Keep chasing what I'm not
Finding fault in paradise
It's never good enough
Wishing away all my life
Always found wanting
Always found wanting
(Always found)
(Always found)
(Always found)
