lyrics

I told you three times what I wanted.
You gave me three good reasons why
all the things that I wanted
were a lie, a lie, a lie.
It was terrible indeed
when I superficially agreed.
But that night what had been a want
was revealed to be a selfish need.

When hope is hidden away,
you might not know that it’s lurking inside.
You might not know that what’s lurking inside
is just hope that’s hidden away.

An argument broke out later that summer.
I swallowed all the air out of the room.
But when I thought about what I had to hold under,
it came out in this massive burp.

And when hope is hidden away,
you might not know that it’s lurking inside.
You might not know that what’s lurking inside
is just hope that’s hidden away.

Then I wrote it down and noticed
no matter what we’d be ok.
But if I didn’t really know this,
then how could I pretend to say:

When hope is hidden away,
you might not know that it’s lurking inside.
You might not know that what’s lurking inside
is just hope that’s hidden away.
