Hopeful |
Supposedly it was a wise wise man |
who said it’s better to have loved and lost |
Than never to have loved at all, never to have loved. |
How many times does the truth that you take to be true |
Is just truth falling apart at the same speed as you |
Until it all comes away in a million degrees |
And you’re just a few pieces of fallin' debris |
And she’s hopeful. |
Hopeful. |
For me. |
I’m coming out of the dark clouds |
She went away and she packed all her lovin' |
I could not believe it how little there was |
I stood in the cold kitchen with nothin' to say |
Who’d keep the whole world spinning when she went away yeah? |
She kept telling me about the good things I deserve |
That I wanted somebody I’d mistaken for her |
But one look in my eyes and she’d know she was wrong |
So she wouldn’t look back at me until she was gone |
How many times did you give all your love |
And find out it was so far from far from enough? |
I followed her out into the street in the rain |
And the whole world stopped spinning and just went up in flames |
And she’s hopeful. |
Hopeful. |
For me. |
I’m coming out of the dark clouds |
She’s hopeful. |
Hopeful, for me. |
She says it to me often |
The sunlight corroded and the days started to fail |
The rocks in the road sharpened shadows to nails |
The fencepost were empty and so were the trees |
Had the bluebird of use on its' last tune for me |
I’ve seen her around now with someone new I don’t know |
She likes greed-eyed boys who are haloed in hope |
But I know the look in his eyes and I know all the old signs |
Just a couple more curves before his own road unwinds |
These days I’m feelin' better about the man that I am |
There’s some things I can change and there’s others I can’t |
I met someone new now I know I deserve |
I never met someone who loves the world more than her |
She has been through her own share of hard times as well |
And she has learned how to tear out the heaven from hell |
Most nights I’m alright still all rocks roll down hill |
But she says I’ll get better, she knows that I will |
And she’s hopeful. |
Hopeful, for me |
I’m coming out of the dark clouds |
She’s hopeful. |
Hopeful, for me |
Comin' out of the dark clouds, Comin out of the dark clouds |
The word is as the world is |
Everybody’s gonna hurt like hells some times |
The word is as the world is |
Everybody’s gonna hurt like hells some times some times |
