Where I Hope You Are

For so long

There’s been no-one else I care about

That my heart could really be so wrong again

But it will again

I had a picture in my soul

Some place warm where we could hang out when we’re old

Now it’s just where I hope you are

These days, in so many, so many ways

My life gets bad for you

But your face when you look at me, look at me that way

Tears me in two

I had a picture, it’s not your fault

But the chair in the room where I get old

Now it’s just where I hope you are

Oh, but there was a time

All I had to do was look at you

The world was mine

I’m telling you the world was mine

I’m so sorry

It’s like all of those deleted scenes you told me about

I’d pick them from the floor

Say, darlin’ show them all once more

For me

A child’s fears

For so many, so many years

The good life that can be

But there’s no-one at the end of that smoking gun

Can’t you see your Mum and Dad just one more day

But it can happen, I’ve been told

Sometimes, babe, drunken angels stumble home

Now it’s just where I hope you are

Oh, but there was a time

All I had to do was look at you

The world was mine

I’m telling you the world was mine

I’m so sorry

It’s like all of those deleted scenes you told me about

I’d pick them from the floor

Say darlin’ show them all once more

For me

I’m so sorry
