"High Hoping" lyrics

"High Hoping"

I've been flipping through the pages
Tryna find the annotations
In the book of revelations
Talking bout the end of days

But I still woke up this morning
With no sirens, and no warning
Well I reckon purgatory
Is gonna have to wait

Cause it's High hoping
And I'm wide open
Though the evidence is scant
I'm still thinking there's a chance
... so grab a drink and dance
Grab your drink and dance

See you standing in the corner
Like that checkered floors a border
And your fear won't move you forward
Gotta roll the dice anyway

Cause this life's damned ol gamble
Ain't a hand that you can't handle
Time is burning like a candle
So get on out and play

Cause it's High hoping
And I'm wide open
Though the evidence is scant
I'm still thinking there's a chance
... so grab a drink and dance
Grab your drink and dance

So what if the sun comes up tomorrow
What if the birds don't sing of sorrow
What if we loved what we were given
And we started really living
What if we all get into heaven
Where all the amps go to eleven
What if a love could last forever
What if we got our shit together

I'll be High hoping
And I'm wide open
I'm High hoping
And I'm wide open
Though the evidence is scant
I'm still thinking there's a chance
... so grab a drink and dance
Grab your drink and dance
