Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Candy talks to strangers
Thinks her life's in danger
No one give's a damn about her hair
It's lonely down on track street
She used to go by Jackie
The cops, they'll steal your dreams
And they'll kill your prayers
[Verse 2]
Take a number where the blood just barely dried
[Verse 3]
Wait for something better
No one behind you
Watching your shadows
This feeling won't go
[Verse 4]
Crooked wheels keep turning
Children, are you learning?
Acclimatize but you don't you lose the plot
A history of blisters
Your brothers and your sisters
Somewhere in the pages we forgot
[Verse 5]
Take a number, Jackie, where the blood just barely dried
You know I'm on your side
[Verse 6]
Wait for something better
No one behind you
Watching your shadows
You gotta be stronger than the story
Don't let it blind you
Rivers of shadow
This feeling won't go
[Verse 7]
The sky is full of dreams
But you don't know how to fly
I don't have a simple answer
But I know that I could answer
Something better
[Verse 8]
This feeling won't go
[Verse 9]
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
[Verse 10]
Wait for something better
