hope...

I woke up and called this morning, the tone of your voice was a warning that you don't care for me anymore.
I made up the bed we sleep in.
I looked at the clock when you creep in.
It's 6 AM and I'm alone.
Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending, to the bad day I was just beginning.
When you go, all I know is you're my favorite mistake.
Your friends act sorry for me.
They watch you pretend to adore me.
But I am no fool to this game.
Now here comes your secret lover, she'll be unlike any other, until your guilt goes up in flames. Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending, to the bad day I'd gotten used to spending. When you go, all I know is you're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake.

Well maybe nothing lasts forever, even when you stay together.
I don't need forever after, but it's your laughter won't let me go so I'm holding on this way.
Did you know could you tell you were the only one that I ever loved?
Now everything's so wrong. Did you see me walking by, did it ever make you cry? Now you're my favorite mistake Yeah you're my favorite mistake You're my favorite mistake

My new favorite song.... someday someone will sing this to me...


She's not afraid; she just likes to use her night light
When she gets paid, true religion gets it all If they fit right.
She's a little bit manic, completely organic
Doesn't panic for the most part.
She's old enough to know, and young enough not to say no To any chance that she gets for home plate tickets to see the Mets.
Like everybody, she's in over her head, Dreads Feds, Grateful Dead, and doesn't take meds. She's a Gemini Capricorn
Thinks all men are addicted to porn.
I don't agree with her half the time,
But, damn I'm glad she's mine.

Her eyes, that's where hope lies.
That's where blue skies
Meet the sunrise.
Her eyes, that's where I go When I go home.

She got the kinda strength that every man wishes he had. S
he loved Michael Jackson up until he made Bad.
Tells me that she lives about a hundred lives, Scares me to death when she thinks and drives, Says cowboy hats make her look fat, and I'm so glad she's mine.

Her eyes, that's where hope lies. That's where blue skies Meet the sunrise.
Her eyes, that's where I go When I go home.
She doesn't know the word 'impossible
'Don't care where I've been and doesn't care where we're goin' to.
She takes me as I am, and that ain't easy.
She's beautiful. So beautiful. And sometimes I think she's truly crazy.
And I love it.

Her eyes, that's where hope lies.
That's where blue skies Always meet the sunrise.
Her eyes, that's where I go When I go home.
Her eyes, that's where hope lies.
That's where blue skies Always meet the sunrise.
Her eyes, that's where I go When I go home.

She's not afraidshe just likes to use her night light.
