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

All the things we don't say might mean something

Somewhere to someone

But nothing here is ever good enough

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

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

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

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)

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 waiting for
