More about "Clarity"
Jimmy Eat World began recording Clarity with Mark Trombino in May and June 1998; the band and Trombino shared the producer credit. Capitol gave the band freedom to do what they wanted in the studio; this is attributed to the label having no interest in the band by this point. Recording started at Sound City in Van Nuys, California, with assistant engineer Nick Raskulinecz.[9] The band choose this studio because they had previously gotten good drum sounds on Static Prevails; however, due to its expensive rate, the band only recorded drum tracks there. They then moved to Clear Lake Audio in North Hollywood, California, where they overdubbed the songs. During the process, the band slept on the office floor of their manager Jorge Hinojosa. Adkins said the studio atmosphere was ripe for experimenting; ideas was explored if they helped the songs. He added, "I would think a song was totally finished and then one of the guys in the band or [Trombino] would bring up an idea that really closed the deal".
Jimmy Eat World approached the recording assuming they would not get the opportunity to make another album, and decided to included a variety of extra instrumentation. Adkins said while recording "Table for Glasses", the band learned "if you aren't doing a lot, it doesn't take a lot to get a big dynamic impact", citing the cello as a prime example. The band recorded two different drum sets for "Lucky Denver Mint", a first for the band. They liked the effect, and also used two sets on "Ten" and "Goodbye Sky Harbor". "Crush" was re-recorded during the sessions. Throughout the recording process, the band wrote more material, and made demos. Trombino mixed the songs at One on One South in Los Angeles, California, with assistant engineers Ron Rivera and Justin Smith, and at Music Grinder in Hollywood with assistant engineer Dean Fisher. Brian Gardner then mastered the album at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood.

Lyrics:
I'll take your words as if you were talking to me
So say what I know you'll say
Say it through your teeth
Now in the deep and down, your heart moves
Now in the deep and down
I don't know how, but I know I want out
Wait for something better
Will I know when it can be us?
Wait for something better
Maybe that doesn't mean us
Wait for something better?
I shouldn't, it's not enough
Pull one excuse from another
And with pride, keep every failure in
And with pride, hold on to your sinking
Now in the deep and down, your heart moves
Now in the deep and down
I don't know how, but I know I want out
Wait for something better
Will I know when it can be us?
Wait for something better
Maybe that doesn't mean us
Wait for something better?
I shouldn't, it's not enough
Pull one excuse from another
This time it means stop
Pull one excuse from another
This time it means us
Wait for something better
Will I know when it can be us?
Wait for something better
Maybe that doesn't mean us
Wait for something good?
No, I shouldn't, it's not enough
Pull one excuse from another
This time it means stop
