I Walked Away
There are wars
We haven’t won
There’s no justice
With a gun
And even the church
What can I say?
I walked away
Everything
Is right on time
It all went wrong
But I don’t mind
Like a drunk
On the stage
I walked away
Oh I got swallowed by the hollows
Oh I got tore up by the knives
Oh I begged and killed and followed
I got so fucking close to the edge that I thought I’d never see myself again
All I want
Is truth and love
A melody
And just enough
No lie that quiets
Your pretty face
I walked away
Oh I got swallowed by the hollows
Oh I got turned by the knives
Oh I begged and killed and followed
I got so fucking close to the edge that I thought I’d never see myself again
Oh I got swallowed by the hollows
Oh I got wounded by the knives
Oh I begged and killed and followed
I got so fucking close to the edge that I thought I’d never see you again my friend
I walked away

Couldn’t Be Happier
I couldn’t be happier
My god I can’t believe our luck
It wasn’t that long ago
When I was absolutely certain
That we were fucked
I wanna party like it’s 1999
Come on pretty baby
Put your little hand in mine
The skies are clear again
And like you said
It was always only
A matter of time
I wanna party like it’s 1999
La la la la
La la la la
I hear church bells
Weddings, funerals, despair and sparks
The heart got so heavy
Until the day broke
To a flood of stars
I wanna party like it’s 1999
La la la la
La la la la
I couldn’t be happier
My god I can’t believe our luck
It wasn’t that long ago
When I was absolutely certain
That we were fucked

Hope Is a Love Song
40 feet
From your door
Now I know
What hope is for
Everything
Is beautiful
Again
The lights went out
The room was dark
The world felt strange
I leaned in art
Everything
Is beautiful
Again
22
With summer skin
I almost crashed
The car we’re in
Everything
Is beautiful
Again
Oh oh oh
Hope is a love song
Oh oh oh
Hope is a love song
Silver hills
Like Christmas Eve
You’re the only thing
I wanna see
Everything
Is beautiful
Again
The air is lit
By fireflies
I see the sparks
In your eyes
Everything
Is beautiful
Again
Oh oh oh
Hope is a love song
Oh oh oh
Hope is a love song
Oh oh oh
Hope is a love song
Oh oh oh
Hope is a love song
