Three Hopeful Thoughts

[Verse 1]
All this talk of your sweet girlfriend
Is starting to pay off
And the charms that you got from travel
Are starting to wear off

[Chorus 1]
And I hope that you smile tonight
Watching the last of your friends arrive
You'll smile and shake their hands

[Verse 2]
And the hero that you hoped you'd be
Never seemed to show up
And if I can keep on talking
There won't be time to give up

[Chorus 2]
And I hope that I drive tonight
Into the last of the great sunrises
I'll smile and wave my hand
Goodbye

[Bridge]
If things don't work out
Quite the way you planned
It's almost half past two
And I've begun to hate the way
You smile, so slow
[Chorus 3]
And I hope that you close your eyes
Block out the pain of a thousand lives
I hope that you die tonight
Just close your eyes, there goes the light
Smile, I'll brave it while you wave your hand
Goodbye
