[Verse 1]
Back o' my mind, back o' my mind
I'm a little scared, I'm a little wired
I could 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 could 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 married with three kids or something
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't kiss me, 'cause I might end up on the ceiling (Oh)
Way too high to ever come down to reality (Oh)
Back to my sanity (Oh), guess it's too late for that now (Oh, oh)

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

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