Built For Longing Lyrics

Sara:
Terrified, I am
Every single day
Petrified, I am
And I'm not wood or clay

Michael:
How long, you ask
Heavy like rock and glass
Are we expecting to swim
While we are drowning within

Tom:
Don't ask how long
We're built for longing
Don't ask how long
We're built for longing

Sara:
We can fantasize
About a good man and try
Try to float, not sing
Through our lives

Narrator:
And I think
Everyone can sympathize
We all want the sun and skies

Michael:
Maybe a baby or two
A better life
I promise you

Sara and Narrator:
Don't ask how long
We're built for longing
Don't ask how long
Cause every answer's wrong
You and me
Were made for wanting

Michael and Tom:
We're always gonna want for something

Tom:
Everyone can sympathize
We want the moon and the skies
Start again our lives brand new

Sara and Michael:
A life I used to come home to

Sara, Michael, Tom, and Narrator:
Don't ask how long
We're built for longing
Don't ask how long
Cause every answer's wrong
You and me
Were made for wanting
We're always gonna want for something
We are for the wanting
We'll always want for something
We are for the wanting
Built for longing
