Hope is a dangerous way
To make a holy ghost
When you're alone
It can keep you locked up
In a kind of sweet mirage
Where you can spend
All your years in want
And it can run you dry
Chasing rainbows in the dark
But you, you pull me through
Every time I don't know what to do
You keep my thoughts up
And you keep me grounded in now
And help me set all my anger down
And here I find
A better way to spend my time
Well I can wait for the Sun to shine
Every little thing I'd ever want is in my life
And maybe God's a freak cause he made me
And he never put a second thought
Into setting me free
I'm so surprised by how my simple life
Of love, hugs and cats are enough
To get me through trials
All I need is my bride
To smile at my same stupid jokes
She leaves me these little love notes
To keep me out of my head
When I'm second guessing all my friends and foes
And if I can't distinguish
Then I suppose I'm pretty toast
But you believe in me
And maybe I can believe it too
But unlike ghosts, honey, I hug like a bear
And when this plague is over
I'm gonna maul you all
But maybe I can wait for the Sun to shine
Every little thing I'd ever want is in my life
And maybe God got cheap when he made me
He put together old spares and parts of broken dreams
I've gotten used to the simple truth
That love turns to pain when you're alone
To get on through life
You have to laugh and cry
And make the decision your own
You've got one shot to live with your soul
And I'd sign my name on mine
Every mistake
And the winding path I took
