[Intro]
Woo
Uh
[Verse 1]
I end my day the same way it started
Alone in L.A., while I grieve the departed
Waiting, waiting for someone, someone to change my life (Hey)
Brand-new shirt, yes, it's a little expensive
Oh, whatever works to put some joy in the engine
And I go out on the town, trying to change my night, mm
And doing it over and over and over and over again
Aw, hell
[Chorus]
I need some high hopes, Lord knows I could use 'em
I know I'ma lose 'em when the wheels fall off
Hey now, lend some independence
Stuck inside the fences like a goddamn dog
Long nights, heavy feelings
They say I'm unappealing when I shoot my shot
Come here, honey, show me how to do it
Does love come around or does one come around to it?
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh, yeah)
[Verse 2]
I get undressed in the arms of a stranger
Then second-guess that ol' half-sober behavior
Do I really, do I really believe that someone could change my life? Uh
I'm doing it over, and over, and over, and over again
Where does it end? Mm
[Chorus]
I need some high hopes, Lord knows I could use 'em
I know I'ma lose 'em when the wheels fall off
Hey now, lend some independence
Stuck inside the fences like a goddamn dog
Long nights, heavy feelings
They say I'm unappealing when I shoot my shot
Come here, honey, don't know how to do it
Does love come around or does one come around to it? Woo
[Bridge]
Woo, talking 'bout high (High), hopes (Hopes), Lord knows I could use 'em
I know I'ma lose 'em when the wheels fall off
Hey (Hey) now (Now), lend some independence
Stuck inside the fences like a goddamn dog (Okay)
High (High), hopes (Hopes), Lord knows I could use 'em
I know I'ma lose 'em when the wheels fall off
Hey (Hey) now (Now), lend some independence
Stuck inside the fences like a goddamn dog
[Outro]
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Yeah
High hopes, oh, I could use 'em (Woo)
High hopes, don't let me lose 'em now
High hopes, oh, I could use 'em
High hopes
