"The Hope" lyrics

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, 'til 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?
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?
Will it happen?
It won't happen, happen, 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

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

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

As the hope subsides

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

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

A losers game
A losers game
