Hope Sweet Hope
I came here with nothing, left with even less Still humming something, tail between my legs I'm inconsistent, smaller than average But I'll go the distance, fall on the canvas Dying of thirsty, beside the stream I fall off the bedside when I try to dream And I get this feeling that this time it's over The fans on the ceiling, blowing me sober I yearn for a home where I haven't been yet I don't mean a front door, I don't mean a 3-bed My middle names are failing and falling Riding the waves but my sailing's appalling My best friend died this year, and it really fucked with me Covered in black tar, everything stuck to me A slither of something that keeps me from jumping Is the last thing I wrote back, was that I love him Hope sweet hope Come to me hope, sweet hope I could use some hope, sweet hope I could use some hope, sweet hope Well, I had a dream that you were alive and We were arriving up on an island SongtexteI think I've outgrown the plant pot that grew me It turns out that freedom came with what overthrew me And I'm still awaiting all of the best things Wrapped up inside me like my intestines There is a window behind every curtain Light pouring in slow, the morning is certain Hope sweet hope Come to me hope, sweet hope I could use some hope, sweet hope I'm hanging on to hope, sweet hope Well, there is a song for all that is unsung Where all that is evil will surely be undone There is a place where the gates always open Gold on the pavement, restored what was broken And that's where I'm going, that's where you'll find me Next to my best friend, with my wife beside me And I don't have answers, but I have a feeling That all of your pain will one day reveal them Aus Songtexte Mania
