Something Better

I don't dance

Oh, I sing, but I don't dance

With open hands

With open hands

And I don't laugh

Oh, I cry, but I don't laugh

And it's all I ask

It's all I ask

But I've got an aching head

And the sky isn't turning gray yet

Oh, it's screaming a warning red

I should've said

That you caught me waiting for something better than this

You caught me waiting for something better than

And I'm not scared

Oh, I'm terrified, but I'm not scared

To hear you swear

I'll breathe your air

And I don't know

Oh, I don't know if we should be alone

Oh, am I safer on my own?

Or am I safer in the hold that I'm in till you're gone?

But you make me feel so brave

Without even trying my name

And there's some things I can't evade

I guess it's just one of those days

One of those days

You caught me waiting for something better than this

And you caught me wishing I didn't, but I know you did

With my closed eyes, and closed mind

You came in and laid them to rest

And you caught me waiting for something better than this

Better than this

And I'm moving the stars tonight

To try to take the edge off the morning sunlight

But I can't seem to get this right

When you're out of sight, you're just too close, too close, to me

You caught me waiting for something better than this

And you caught me wishing I didn't, but I know you did

With my closed eyes, and closed mind

You came in and laid them to rest

And you caught me waiting for something better than this

Better than this
