[Verse 1] The perfect place may never exist, may never exist The perfect time, might be years and years away The city is overweight, and it's pressing on the pair of us We scowl and sweat underneath the underbearing crush
[Chorus] But I still want to be here, want to be here I still want to be here, want to be here And I would live in a devil's ditch just to be near you I still want to be here, want to be here
[Verse 2] There is shit all over the street outside our house now Junk fiends dance at the bus stop next to the rodeo clowns Nowhere to run to, so we hide like mislaid infants Fuck these faceless homes and everyone who lives in them
[Chorus] But I still want to be here, want to be here I still want to be here, want to be here And I would live in a shallow pit just to be near you I still want to be here
