(Chorus) What would make this perfect? I’m afraid that doesn’t exist I fooled myself so many times I thought there was an end
I must pull myself aside Will to learn and will to live To find life and beauty In the imperfection
I find myself obsessing On little things that don’t mean much It’s hard sometimes to let go when, When you’re mind is so damned focused
Divert my attention I must get off this useless trip And come back to the present Embrace the imperfection
(Chorus)
You’ll never really get there It’s just a tale you’re tryin’ to live But in the midst of your plans Is your life that happens
Must I choose obsession over taking time? Can I step away from it all? Can I live my life? Am I entrapped by my compulsions? Am I just wasting time? Am I just wasting time?
Unnecessary obsession Unnecessary compulsion Unnecessary obsession, unnecessary waste of time
(Chorus)
Like a cat chasing her own tail A cycle of self-deceit You believe there’s an ending Can’t start until it’s done
Like a cat chasing her own tail You’ll never really reach the end So stop chasing your own tail And try to see what you’re missing
Unnecessary obsession Unnecessary compulsion Unnecessary obsession, unnecessary waste of time
There’s no such thing as perfect It’s just a chase without an end I must divert my focus Control the obsession, control the obsession
