Now I’m walking
through a field,
frozen grass,
and I’m holding an empty glass.
It’s 3am again.
And I might be half in the bag
but I could’ve sworn you were looking my way when you said that you
didn’t want tonight to end.
But hope is such a gateway drug,
it lets me believe I can steal your love.
Hope is such a gateway drug,
I can’t let go of the idea of us.
And all day
I try to anticipate what you will say but I’m
never right,
I’m an unstable blend of confident shy.
You said take this hope that I scored,
then it didn’t kick in so I kept on ingesting more.
I just can’t seem to fill my small empty space.
But as always, I don’t have the guts
to open my mouth and spill endless amounts of romantic clichés,
so I just let you walk away.
Hope is such a gateway drug,
it lets me believe I can steal your love.
Hope is such a gateway drug,
I can’t let got of the idea of us.
And all day
I try imagine what life would be like with you
still around
but I’ve fallen so much, now I’m friends with the ground.
