Hopes Too High

Listen baby, I won't leave no trace
Gonna light out of here for some cleaner place
I'll be sitting in the backseat with my hair in my face
Then gone fast as freedom on good wind.

If I got my hopes too high, this is no easy kind of life
But I see it in my mind's eye, touch me real as daytime
I can't keep from trying.

No place to run for a girl like me
Whole lot of used to's and supposed to be's
I want to burn like august, shine like gold dust
Where everyday living can't hold me.

If I got my hopes too high, this is no easy kind of life
But I see it in my mind's eye, touch me real as daytime
And I can't keep from trying.

So when I reach for you from some way down place
Don't be a stranger who won't show his face
I got no promise but these words I say
I carry you, you carry me.

If I got my hopes too high, this is no easy kind of life
But I see it in my mind's eye, touch me real as daytime
I can't keep from trying
I see it in my mind's eye, touch me real as daytime
I can't keep from trying.
