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
