Hope


Your shadow walks faster than you
You don't really know what to do
Do you think that you're not alone?
You really think that you're immune to it
It's going to get the best of you
It's going to lift you up then let you down

It will defeat you
Then teach you to get back up
After it takes away
All that you learned to love

Your reflection is a blur
Out of focus but in confusion
The frames the sun did burn
At the end of a roll of delusions
A ghost waiting its turn
And now I can see right through
It's a warning that nobody heard

It will defeat you
Then teach you to get back up

After it takes away
All that you learned to love

Cuz you don't
Always
Have to hold your head
Higher than your heart

You better hope you're not alone
You better be hoping you're not alone
You better hope you're not alone
You better be hoping you're not

Your, your echo comes back out of tune
But you can't quite get used to it
Reverb is just the room
The problem is that there's no truth to it

It's fading away too soon

Your shadow is on the move
And maybe you should moving too

Before it takes away
All that you learned to love
It will defeat you
Then teach you to get back up

Because you don't
Always
Have to hold your head
Higher than your heart

You better hope you're not alone

Hope - Jack Johnson

How are you? Is your blood behaving? Hope you get good results from your tests tomorrow.
