about

Hope springs eternal

lyrics

Waiting for a sign, for the perfect fit
Oh I'm wasting time because I can't commit

When the puzzle's almost complete
But there is still a hole where I should be
A cutout of my hopes and of my dreams
Is no one gonna find me
Just another missing piece

I guess it's no surprise, 'cause I'm the jack of hearts
Just some empty eyes in a stack of cards

You hold me in your hands
You shuffle me around, I don't understand
Why you put me down, you're just playing me again
It always ends the same
I'm sick of playing this game

If I don't let you in, I'll never let you down
Oh I've learned to win by not keeping count

So tell me what's in a name
It seems to me our hearts all break the same
We're acting out these parts that never change
At the end of the day
Just some pretty words on a page

And as I wander on
Down this lonely road I'll sing my song
And I will hold out hope, but the evening's wearing on
And the sun's not gonna stay
Pin my hopes on another day
