we work two lives and nothing else
washed up consumer carousels
wouldn't know if i've been thinking
he spends 40 hours, asleep
pushing buttons while he reads
they don't know, but he's been sinking

what i can't find is what's always missing
don't give in

racing age and changing lives,
against these starlets in the sky
a golden year ain't what i'm after
21 is where i am
dependant independant man
doing all i can to master

take me for that ride
tell me there's another side
'cause i'm not faking

what i can't find is what's always missing
don't give in, we've made a monster wishing
all i can't find is what's always missing
don't give in

5am on roads alone
when we're not getting home,
it's loving more than 'being seen'
if we take our own advice,
we'll be farther than 'just fine'
am i just a fantasy machine

take me for that ride
tell me there's another side
'cause i'm not wasting

what i can't find is what's always missing
don't give in, we've made a monster wishing
all i can't find is what's always missing
but, don't give in
