lyrics

Well, you can call me lazy
For lack of a better word
Fix me up to feel crazy
For wanting better

I’ve been working this shit job
For lack of a better one
I’ve been singing this same song
For wanting better

Better comes to those who wait they say
Better things are surely on their way

I guess you could say I’m lonely
For lack of a better word
Fix my heart and console me
For wanting better

I’ve been sleeping with this girl
For lack of a better one
Been dipping out of this weird world
For wanting better

Better to be lucky so they say
Better to have never been today

Bask in the glow of this tired night
Moving picture distract from what is going on inside
Keep an eye on colors getting blurrier
As you save a smile for a day you’ll deem worthier
Time moves real slow until you want it to
Don't you let all those loose ends be the end of you

For want of a better world (Watching, waiting, always wanting more)
For want of a better world (Dreaming, scheming, always wanting more)
For want of a better world (Doubting, counting, always wanting more)
For want of something better
