Wait It Out Lyrics - Ellipse - Imogen Heap

Where do we go from here? 

How do we carry on? 

I can't get beyond the questions. 

Clambering for the scraps 

In the shatter of us collapsed. 

It cuts me with every could-have-been. 

Pain on pain on play, repeating 

With the backup makeshift life in waiting. 

Everybody says that time heals everything. 

But what of the wretched hollow? 

The endless in-between? 

Are we just going to wait it out? 

There's nothing to see here now, 

Turning the sign around; 

We're closed to the Earth 'til further notice. 

A stumbling cliched case 

Crumpled and puffy faced 

Dead in the stare of a thousand miles 

An all-out one, only one street-level miracle. 

I'll be a an out-and-out, born again from none more cynical. 

Everybody says that time heals everything 

Oh in the end. 

But what of the wretched hollow? 

The endless in-between? 

Are we just going to wait it out? 

And sit here cold? 

We'll be long gone by then. 

And lackluster in dust we lay 

Around old magazines. 

Fluorescent lighting sets the scene 

For all we could and should be being 

In the one life that we've got. 

In the one life that we've got. 

Everybody says that time heals everything. 

But what of the wretched hollow? 

The endless in-between? 

Are we just going to wait it out? 

We sit here 

Just going to wait it out 

Sit here cold 

Just going to threat it out 

Wait it out.
