The Hope

It’s the hope that kills you but it makes you feel alive

Running down the road like you were 25

But time’s moved on the years have not been kind

I see every line every wrinkle on your face

Everyone’s a road to a better place

When we laughed, till we cried

Watch me now, I’m gonna hit that shot

Work it out with everything I’ve got

We’ve got something that I can’t explain

We’re still winners baby, Winning in a losers game

Well the stories they all bore you we can write them all again

Tell them of the time when we got there in the end

Will it happen? It won’t Happen

It’s the fear of disappointment, the fear of the unknown

Swim for your life or sink like a stone

Will it happen? It won’t happen

Let me tell you something that you need to know

Everyone’s a sinner baby there’s no halo

Gotta earn a living, gotta pay as well

As the hope subsides
