Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'll take your words as if you were talking to me

So say what I know you'll say

Say it through your teeth

[Pre-Chorus]

Now in the deep and down, your heart moves

Now in the deep and down

I don't know how, but I know I want out

[Chorus]

Wait for something better

Will I know when it can be us?

Wait for something better

Maybe that doesn't mean us

Wait for something better?

I shouldn't, it's not enough

Pull one excuse from another

[Verse 2]

And with pride, keep every failure in

And with pride, hold on to your sinking

[Pre-Chorus]

Now in the deep and down, your heart moves

Now in the deep and down

I don't know how, but I know I want out

[Chorus]

Wait for something better

Will I know when it can be us?

Wait for something better

Maybe that doesn't mean us

Wait for something better?

I shouldn't, it's not enough

Pull one excuse from another

This time it means stop

Pull one excuse from another

This time it means us

Wait for something better

Will I know when it can be us?

Wait for something better

Maybe that doesn't mean us

Wait for something good?

No, I shouldn't, it's not enough

Pull one excuse from another

This time it means stop
