She sells the house and she leaves it
So quick she couldn't believe it
And though her tears are falling few
She thinks she's losing her mind too
Now the place she had a heart
Is just an open hole
But if you want the best
You'll have to take it whole, take it whole
Now you'll never get there if you refuse to care
Everyone's looking for the perfect life
But as the years have shown, can't get it on your own
Everybody wants a perfect life, everybody wants a perfect life
He's on a loose and he loves it
Anything he don't like he shoves it
Every bedroom's an open door
This is what humans are made for
Now the place he had a heart
Is just an open hole
But if you want the best
You'll have to take it whole, take it whole
Now you'll never get there if you refuse to care
Everyone's looking for the perfect life
But as the years have shown, can't get it on your own
Everybody wants a perfect life, everybody wants a perfect life
Everybody wants a perfect life, everybody wants it
No problems, no worries, do disagreements
Everybody wants a perfect life
No anger, no crying, no bitternesses
And though his tears are falling few
He thinks he's losing his mind too
Now the place they have their hearts
They're just like open holes
But if you want the best
You'll have to open up your soul, take it whole
Now you'll never get there if you refuse to care
Everyone's looking for the perfect life
But as the years have shown, can't get it on your own
Everybody wants a perfect life, everybody wants a perfect life
Everybody wants a perfect life, everybody wants it
No problems, no worries, do disagreements
Everybody wants a perfect life
No anger, no crying, no bitternesses
Everybody wants a perfect life
No mortgage, no angst, no anxiety
Everybody wants a perfect life
You told me every damn thing free
Everybody wants a perfect life
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Everybody wants a perfect life
Loser, loser, everybody winning
Everybody wants a perfect
Give me the reason that everything survives
Everybody wants a perfect life
Everybody wants a perfect life
Everybody wants a perfect life
