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
