Hopeful Lyrics - Acoustic Live Vol. 1 - Josh Ritter

Supposedly it was a wise wise man 

Who said it's better to have loved and lost 

Than never to have loved at all, never to have loved. 

How many times does the truth that you take to be true 

Is just truth falling apart at the same speed as you 

Until it all comes away in a million degrees 

And you're just a few pieces of fallin' debris 

And she's hopeful. hopeful. for me. 

I'm coming out of the dark clouds 

She went away and she packed all her lovin' 

I could not believe it how little there was 

I stood in the cold kitchen with nothin' to say 

Who'd keep the whole world spinning when she went away yeah?

She kept telling me about the good things I deserve 

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 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. 

I'm coming out of the dark clouds 

She's hopeful. hopeful, for me. 

She says it to me often 

The sunlight corroded and the days started to fail 

The rocks in the road sharpened shadows to nails 

The fencepost were empty and so were the trees 

Had the bluebird of use on its' last tune for me

I've seen her around now with someone new I don't know 

She likes greed-eyed boys who are haloed in hope 

But I know the look in his eyes and I know all the old signs 

Just a couple more curves before his own road unwinds 

These days I'm feelin' better about the man that I am 

There's some things I can change and there's others I can't 

I met someone new now I know I deserve 

I never met someone who loves the world more than her 

She has been through her own share of hard times as well 

And she has learned how to tear out the heaven from hell 

Most nights I'm alright still all rocks roll down hill 

But she says I'll get better, she knows that I will 

And she's hopeful. hopeful, for me 

I'm coming out of the dark clouds 

She's hopeful. hopeful, for me 

Comin' out of the dark clouds, comin' out of the dark clouds 

The word is as the world is 

Everybody's gonna hurt like hells some times 

The word is as the world is 

Everybody's gonna hurt like hells some times some times
