[Verse 1]
Back o' my mind, back o' my mind
I'm a little scared, I'm a little wired
I don't wanna put my foot down right now and stop it all happening
Back o' my mind, back o' my head
You look really nice, wanna share a bed?
I don't wanna put my foot down right now but it's happening

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't kiss me, 'cause I might end up on the ceiling
Way too high to ever come down to reality
Back to my sanity, guess it's too late for that now

[Chorus]
Hope is a scary thing
Hope is a scary thing
I'm flying on temporary wings
Hope is a scary thing

[Verse 2]
Stop lookin' at me like that
Stop lookin' at me like you're happy
'Cause I can really take an inch and start caring from nothing
Did I get too carried away?
Do I come off overwhelming?
Yeah, 'cause I could really see us marriеd with three kids or something
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't kiss me, 'cause I might еnd up on the ceiling
Way too high to ever come down to reality
Back to my sanity, guess it's too late for that now

[Chorus]
Hope is a scary thing
Hope is a scary thing
I'm flying on temporary wings
Hope is a scary thing

[Bridge]
I'm not ready (Hope is a scary thing)
How do you know when you're ready? (Hope is a scary thing)
When does the happy outweigh all the scary?
I guess it all comes down to hope

[Outro]
Oh, I don't think that I'm ready (Hope is a scary thing)
But how do you know when you're ready? (Hope is a scary thing)
When does the happy outweigh all the scary?
I guess it all comes down to hope
I guess it all comes down to hope
