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

pull one excuse from another
