Verse 1
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

Pre-Chorus
All the things we don't say might mean something
Somewhere to someone
But nothing here is ever good enough

Chorus
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

Verse 2
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

Pre-Chorus
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

Chorus
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)

Outro
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 living for
