Three Hopeful Thoughts

[Verse 1:]
All this talk of your sweet girlfriend is starting to pay off
And the charms that she got from travel are starting to wear off.

[Chorus:]
And I hope that you smile tonight
Watching the last of your friends arrive
Smile and shake their hands.

[Verse 2:]
And the hero that you hoped you'd be never seemed to show up
And if I can keep on talking, there won't be time to give up.

[Chorus:]
And I hope that I drive tonight
Into the last of the great sunrises
I'll smile and wave my hand goodbye.

[Bridge:]
If things don't work out quite the way you planned
It's almost half past two and I've begun to hate the way you smile so slowly.

[Chorus:]
And I hope that you close your eyes
And block out the pain of a thousand lies
And I hope that you die tonight
Just close your eyes, there goes the light
Smile, I'll brave it when you wave your hand goodbye.
