OBVIOUSLY ALL THE LYRICS ARE UP FOR DEBATE ON WHAT EVERYBODY HEARS AND CAN'T BE OFFICIAL UNTIL THEY ARE RELEASED FROM IMMI HERSELF

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 till further notice
a stumbling cliche kiss, crumpled and puffy-faced
dead in the stare of a thousand miles

all-in-one, only one street-level miracle
I'll be an out-in-out, born-again from none more cynical

everybody says
that time heals everything all in the end
what of the wretched hollow?
the endless in-between?
are we just going to wait it out...?

...and sit here cold?
but we'll be long gone by then,
and lackluster
and dust will layer on 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.
and what of the wretched hollow?
the endless in-between?

are we just going to wait it out?
and sit here...
...just going to wait it out?
and sit here cold...
just going to sweat it out?

wait it out...

I believe it's "and dust will layer on old magazines"

[for all we could and should be being] This bit is missing

These are the lyrics in the booklet

This song is totally going to get me in trouble. Very Happy

When I'm walking around the neighborhood (Which for some reason, I did twice yesterday) and I started listening to "Wait It Out" I absolutely HAD to sing with her. It was imperative to my existence. I love getting goosebumps while walking around on a hot summer night!
