Hopeful
Drove to Ohio, it was
Barely raining, but the
Wedding happened anyway
We sat apart, and I think
We saw each other, but then
A second later, looked away
And they said their vows in spite of us
And walked back down the aisle
Looking hopeful
By 9 PM I'd had enough
But I stuck it out, cuz I
Was feeling hopeful
We sent them off with all our
Expectations, saying
"Must be easy, must be nice"
The crowd was pulling us in
Different directions, and so
You went yours and I went mine
But they drove away in front of us
And waved back through the window
Looking hopeful
And I hate think that some of us
Just don't have what it takes
To be that hopeful
Cuz something tells me hope
Is not as easy as it looks
At a wedding
Sitting 20 feet away
And something tells me hope
Is not as simple as it feels
When you're watching
Thinking, I'll get there someday
And something tells me hope
Is twice as hard
As seeing someone that you loved
Dancing slow with someone new
And something tells me hope
Is twice as painful
As the self-inflicted doubts
That made it hard
To be hopeful
For you
I wanna be hopeful for you
I tried to be hopeful
Drove to Ohio, it was
Barely raining, but the
Wedding happened anyway
Barely raining, but the
Wedding happened anyway
We sat apart, and I think
We saw each other, but then
A second later, looked away
And they said their vows in spite of us
And walked back down the aisle
Looking hopeful
By 9 PM I'd had enough
But I stuck it out, cuz I
Was feeling hopeful
We sent them off with all our
Expectations, saying
"Must be easy, must be nice"
The crowd was pulling us in
Different directions, and so
You went yours and I went mine
But they drove away in front of us
And waved back through the window
Looking hopeful
And I hate think that some of us
Just don't have what it takes
To be that hopeful
Cuz something tells me hope
Is not as easy as it looks
At a wedding
Sitting 20 feet away
And something tells me hope
Is not as simple as it feels
When you're watching
Thinking, I'll get there someday
And something tells me hope
Is twice as hard
As seeing someone that you loved
Dancing slow with someone new
And something tells me hope
Is twice as painful
As the self-inflicted doubts
That made it hard
To be hopeful
For you
I wanna be hopeful for you
I tried to be hopeful
Drove to Ohio, it was
Barely raining, but the
Wedding happened anyway
