"Hope Avenue" lyrics

"Hope Avenue"

When it rains on Hope Avenue, you're gone
To pick apart my words as I'm watching you, move on
Bitter pills that I'm swallowing, choking
But you're better, but you're better, on your own, for awhile

Holding back for you, to find that better memory
Holding back for you-ou-ou
Always comes back running to you
You know who
You know who
You know who

Start again, when the shifts have changed, and you're calm
Make the better nice and fall into what's gone wrong
Colder promises, 'cause we know it's not the last one
So you're better, so you're better on your own, for awhile

Holding back for you, to find that better memory
Holding back for you-ou-ou
Always comes back running to you
You know who
You know who
You know who

Time after time, I'll be your rose rising from the ash again
Time after time, you'll be mine until the wine makes us fall out again

Holding back for you, to find that better memory
Holding back for you
Always comes back running to you
You know who
You know who
You know who
