The Hopefuls Songtext
Back in my daredevil years
Making jumps that I could barely clear
Sticking landings, and I felt no fear
All revved up and riling
I was just about halfway out
When you called me from your halfway house
You said it's better if you get out now and stop running wild
I'm trying to be one of the hopefuls
The dying breed among all the locals
Making jumps that I could barely clear
Sticking landings, and I felt no fear
All revved up and riling
I was just about halfway out
When you called me from your halfway house
You said it's better if you get out now and stop running wild
I'm trying to be one of the hopefuls
The dying breed among all the locals
I can dance with the Devil to take my chance to make it out alive
Why do I fix a heart that's totalled?
I need a quote, draw me up a proposal
Don't wanna dance with the Devil, oh, I wanna makе it out alive
And I'm hopeful
Barely еven knew my jacket size
For the vigil and the candlelight
It was more than I could handle
I walked out with no warning
Yelled at God, "If, you're just testing us
Why'd you go and take the best of us?"
Was it something for the rest of us to learn in the morning?
I'm trying to be one of the hopefuls
The dying breed among all the locals
I can dance with the Devil to take my chance to make it out alive
Why do I fix a heart that's totalled?
I need a quote, draw me up a proposal
Don't wanna dance with the Devil, oh, I wanna make it out alive And I'm hopeful
Falling, dodging, tightrope jogging
Buried me by twenty-three
I did all that I could
Turned back dreaming, finding reasons
Burning sticks, I'm forty-six
I'm hopeful now that I'll get out
I'm trying to be one of the hopefuls
The dying breed among all the locals
I can dance with the Devil to take my chance to make it out alive
Why do I fix a heart that's totalled?
I need a quote, draw me up a proposal
Don't wanna dance with the Devil, oh, I wanna make it out alive
And I'm hopeful
Yeah, I'm hopeful
Oh, I'm hopeful
Yeah, I'm hopeful
Am I?
Why do I fix a heart that's totalled?
I need a quote, draw me up a proposal
Don't wanna dance with the Devil, oh, I wanna makе it out alive
And I'm hopeful
Barely еven knew my jacket size
For the vigil and the candlelight
It was more than I could handle
I walked out with no warning
Yelled at God, "If, you're just testing us
Why'd you go and take the best of us?"
Was it something for the rest of us to learn in the morning?
I'm trying to be one of the hopefuls
The dying breed among all the locals
I can dance with the Devil to take my chance to make it out alive
Why do I fix a heart that's totalled?
I need a quote, draw me up a proposal
Don't wanna dance with the Devil, oh, I wanna make it out alive And I'm hopeful
Falling, dodging, tightrope jogging
Buried me by twenty-three
I did all that I could
Turned back dreaming, finding reasons
Burning sticks, I'm forty-six
I'm hopeful now that I'll get out
I'm trying to be one of the hopefuls
The dying breed among all the locals
I can dance with the Devil to take my chance to make it out alive
Why do I fix a heart that's totalled?
I need a quote, draw me up a proposal
Don't wanna dance with the Devil, oh, I wanna make it out alive
And I'm hopeful
Yeah, I'm hopeful
Oh, I'm hopeful
Yeah, I'm hopeful
Am I?
