Lyrics

THE HOPEFUL ROMANTICS

V.1
Jacqueline and Dan fell in love & ran to the chapel
We threw the rice and they zoomed away
Back when love was all it took, they made it look easy

Lift
When did the fiery nights
Fade to gray?
How does a vow so true lose its way?

Chorus 1
God, have mercy on
All of us hangin' on
Shine your light upon
The Hopeful Romantics
Strayin' where we don't belong
Stayin' when the flame is gone
'Cause every teardrop is a song
To the Hopeful --
The Hopeful Romantics
The Hopeful --
The Hopeful --

V.2
Honey, you were six, Daddy got his kicks on the hard stuff
He only came around to leave you cryin'
After all the blood you've spilt, you're still a believer

Lift
And when your love became a Third World War
You promised heaven,
"Next time, I'll give more"

Chorus 2
God, have mercy on
All of us hangin' on
Shine your light upon The Hopeful Romantics
Divin' in the deep end, Barely survivin'
Maybe we can't swim
But we're buzzin' with adrenalin
We're the Hopeful --
The Hopeful Romantics
The Hopeful --
The Hopeful --

V.3
I've had this fear of heights since I fell from the tightrope
Here I go, climbin' the danger tree
You showed me my braver side and now I see through your eyes

Lift
I'll be a daredevil if you want me to
Out on a limb for you
Out on a limb with you

Chorus 3
God, have mercy on
All of us hangin' on
Shine your light upon
The Hopeful Romantics
Stakin' everything to win
Achin' for another spin
Just when I'd given up gamblin'
We're the Hopeful -- (REPEAT)

Oh, here we go again...

Tag
God, have mercy on The Hopeful Romantics
The Hopeful --
The Hopeful -- (REPEAT)
