Hope by REM in Say Something Lyrics

Hope

lyrics by Michael Stipe

R.E.M.

You want to go out friday

and you want to go forever.

You know that it sounds childish

that you've dreamt of alligators.

You hope that we are with you

and you hope you're recognized.

You want to go forever

you see it in my eyes.

I'm lost in the confusion

and it doesn't seem to matter

you really don't believe it

and you hope it's getting better

You want to trust the doctors

their ------ is the best

but the last try was a failure

and the intern was a mess.

and they did the same to Matthew

and he bled til Sunday night

they're saying dont be frightened

but you're weakened by the sight of it.

You lock into a pattern

and you know that its the last ditch

you're trying to see through it and it doesnt make sense

and you're empty

but they're saying dont by frightened

and they're killing alligatorsWatchmen - Hope by REM in Say Something - http://motolyrics.com/watchmen/hope-by-rem-in-say-something-lyrics.html

and they're hogtied and accepting of

the struggle.

You want to trust religion

and you know its allegory

but the people who are followers

have written their own story.

so you look up to the heavens

and you hope that its a spaceship

and its something srom your childhood

you're thinking dont be frightened.

You want to climb the ladder

you want to see forever.

you want to go out friday

you want to go forever.

and you want to cross your dna

to cross your dna with something reptile.

and you're questioning the sciences

and questioning religion

you're looking like an idiot

and you no longer care.

and you want to bridge the schizm,

a built-in mechanism to protect you.

and you're looking for salvation

and you're looking for deliverance

you're looking like an idiot

and you no longer care.

'cause you want to climb the ladder

you want to go forever
