Imogen Heap - Wait It Out Lyrics






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.
Clambering for the scraps,
Clambering in the light.
We're closed to the Earth 'til further...

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.
But what of the wretched hollow?
The endless in-between?
Are we just going to wait it out?

And sit here cold?
Look, you'll be long gone by then.
And lackluster in dust we lay
'round old magazines.
Fluorescent lighting sets the scene
For all we could and should being
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?
Just going to sweat it out?
Just going to sweat it out?
Wait it out.

    Just watched chuck front to back always get emotional when I watch it

  10. N.... P....

    If I had the knowledge to actually back it up, I’d probably use this song in a class about music engineering as a prime example of how to structure, mix and arrange a song. Everything in it just fits so perfectly. From the opening a capella to the fade in of piano, the slow build to the first chorus, the second chorus that is a full on rockin moment, to the middle 8 with its guitar solo thing and the harmonizer and guitar harmonica at the end.

  11. l.... ....

  45. R.... R....

    awesome, I really enjoy this album

  46. F.... ....

    Its funnh how this is the Imogen Heap album I still see as "the new album" and I'm really hesitant to listen to it, but it is old enough to have been in Chuck. I'm so afraid to find songs I don't like from artists I love so completely lol. Her first couple albums and work as Frou Frou are works of art.

  47. A.... P....

    One of many songs, Chuck introduced them to me.

  48. s.... ....

  58. M.... M....

    CSI: NY brought me here.

  59. K.... ....

    that breakdown is amazing

  60. S.... H....

    Chuck brought me here! I Love her! What an amazing lyricist! I swear, Chuck has introduced me to so many incredible artist!

  64. D.... A....

    This makes me mellow whenever i hear it back then when i was single. It's mellow, in a hip way..

  65. P.... D....

    Man, those lyrics. Some of the most poignant I've heard.

    P.... D....

    Couldn't agree more. When my wife left, I listened to it nonstop and was just like DAMN this song hits me hard.

  72. E.... C....

    OH Chuckk me <3 <3 <3

  73. i.... ....

    I learned two new words... makeshift and lackluster! Hahah...

    i.... ....

    She's one of the most endearingly abstract lyricists I've ever listened to, but that's what already puts her on a level of her own.

    Now, when she sings, she becomes the epicenter of the world!

    I wish they'd play her music on the radio more often.

  74. D.... G....

    The song is about being at a difficult place in a relationship with someone. The singer contemplates if they should call it quits now or wait out their stormy period and move forward.
