Clarity 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, stop

[Refrain]
Pull one excuse from another
This time it means us

[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 good
No, I shouldn't, it's not enough
Pull one excuse from another
This time it means stop

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
