I just can't get by
Waiting on the knees
I just can't get by
On insincerities

I will have to wait
The wait is often there
I will take the way
I think it's only fair

Wait
Wait
(I just can't get by)
Wait
(I just, I just, I just…)
Wait
(I just can't)

I just can't get by
No, I just can't get by
I just can't get by
No, I just can't get by

The sun set
The sun set
The sun will soon be set
The sun
The sun will soon be set
Your shadow will be 'round
But darkness isn't yet
Anticipation strung up
Sun

I just can't
Darkness
Anticipate

I just can't get by
No, I just can't get by
I just can't get by
No, I just can’t get by

My breath grows faster now (grows faster, faster)
I knew this act was wrong
My stifle grows faster when (grows faster, faster)
I've sent my ???
You can bend my way
But I can hold your stay
I smile and hesitate
You said this story's fair

Darkness
Grows faster, faster
Wait
Grows faster, faster

I just can't get by
No, I just can't get by
(grows faster, faster)
I just can't get by
No, I just can't get by
(grows faster, faster)

I just can't get by
No, I just can't get by
I just can't get by
No, I just can't get by

I just can't get by
No, I just can't get by
I just can't get by
No, I just can't get by

Darkness
Darkness
I just can't
