Hopeful (Live) Songtext - Josh Ritter

Hopeful (Live) - Josh Ritter

Supposedly, it was a wise, wise man
Who said it’s better to have loved and lost
Then never to have loved at all
Never to have loved

How many times is the truth that you took to be true?
Just truth falling apart at the same speed as you?
Until it all comes away at a million degrees?
And you’re just a few pieces of falling debris?

And she’s hopeful
Hopeful for me
I'm coming out of the dark clouds

She went away and she packed all her love and
I could now believe it how little there was and
I stood in the cold kitchen with nothing to say
Who’d keep the whole world spinning when she went away again?

She kept telling me ’bout the good things I deserved
That I wanted somebody I’d mistaken for her
But one look in my eyes and she’d know she was wrong
So she wouldn’t look back at me until she was gone

How many times did you give all your love and
Just to find out it was so far from far from enough?
I followed her out into the street in the rain
And the whole world stopped spinning and just went up in flames

And she’s hopeful
Hopeful for me
Coming out of the dark clouds
Hopeful
Hopeful for me
She says it to me often

The sunlight corroded and the day started to fail
The rocks in the road sharpened shadows to nails
The fence posts were empty and so were the trees
Had the bluebird of youth sung its last tune for me

I’ve seen her around now with someone new I don’t know
She likes green-eyed boys who are haloed in hope
But I know the look in his eyes and I know all the old signs
It’s just a couple more curves before the old road unwinds

These days I’m feeling better about the man that I am
There’s some things I can’t change and there’s other I can
I met someone new now I know I deserve
I never met someone loves the world more than her

She’s been through her own share of hard times as well
And she’s learned how to tear out the heaven from hell
Most nights I’m all right, still old rocks roll downhill
But she says I’ll get better, she knows that I will

And she’s hopeful (World is as the world is)
Hopeful for me (Everybody’s gonna hurt like hell sometimes)
Coming out of the dark clouds
She's hopeful (World is as the world is)
Hopeful for me (Everybody’s gonna hurt like hell sometimes)
I'm coming out of the dark clouds
She's hopeful (World is as the world is)
Hopeful for me (World is as the world is)
(World is as the world is)
I'm coming out of the dark clouds (World is as the world is)
I'm coming out of the dark clouds (World is as the world is)
(World is as the world is)
