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
