If everything that we love will burn down
|
Then should we love no one and nothing?
|
If all that we build falls down
|
Then I will dig the deepest hole
|
Dig down, down
|
All the things we don't say might mean something
|
Somewhere to someone
|
But nothing here is ever good enough
|
So we close our eyes and wait for something better
|
(Whoa-oh-oh)
|
Not knowing what we're even waiting for
|
(Whoa-oh-oh)
|
With our hands cupped to the sky, we wait forever
|
(Whoa-oh-oh)
|
Sacrificing light we're given
|
Never knowing what we're living for
|
Can I have your attention, please?
|
I've played the game, you see
|
To make all these ends meet
|
But it's not enough
|
The fabric we all share
|
All starts to rip and tear
|
We're sending thoughts and prayers
|
But they're not enough
|
Words without action equal nothing
|
They'll say when we're gone
|
We've heard your excuses all before
|
And this is what they sound like
|
So we close our eyes and wait for something better
|
(Whoa-oh-oh)
|
Not knowing what we're even waiting for
|
(Whoa-oh-oh)
|
With our hands cupped to the sky, we wait forever
|
(Whoa-oh-oh)
|
Sacrificing light we're given
|
Never knowing what we're living for
|
We're living for, we're living for
|
And this is what it sounds like
|
(And this is what it sounds like)
|
So don't close your eyes, don't wait for something better
|
Know exactly what it is you're waiting for
|
Put your empty hands away, don't wait forever
|
(Whoa-oh-oh)
|
And don't sacrifice the light you're given
|
Know exactly what you're waiting for |
