Structure + Lyrics
Intro (2x)
Verse
i'll take your words as if you were talking to me
say what i know you'll say and say it through your teeth
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, its not enough
pull one excuse from another
Verse
and with pride keep every failure in
and with pride hold on to the sinking
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
Bridge
Chorus
pull one excuse from another
this time it means us
