00:00I'm somebody trying to live a good life, trying to feel all right, trying to sleep at night.
00:13I'm somebody who gets it wrong, never stays long, never says bye.
00:18Sometimes you've got to go it alone, have a little hope.
00:29If I fall, if I have to learn to suffer, lose it all, if I have to let it go, where am I best?
00:42Feels like a joke, still I have a little hope.
00:52Telling lies, telling old wives tales, like my mother said, to make you feel better.
00:58Telling the truth, cause I'm losing my mind, I've been dragging myself into Armageddon.
01:04But before that's all that I know, I have a little hope.
01:14If I fall, if I have to learn to suffer, lose it all, if I have to let it go, where am I best?
01:28Feels like a joke, still I have a little hope.
01:37When it's dark, when it's a world of lonely shadows in your heart, nothing's making sense when you try.
01:51And when you choke, you've got to have a little hope, yeah.
02:01Words get lost, getting hard to hear, good intentions disappear.
02:12Hang on to that hope, have a little hope, oh yeah.
02:24So much, too much going on, so much, too much started going wrong.
02:35Oh, I'm learning, I'm learning what I broke, so I have a little hope.
02:47Hang on to that hope, have a little hope.
03:08Anything you want, I'll give it to you.
03:15Anything you need, don't worry, babe.
03:22Anything you say, but would you let me stay in your arms, in your arms?
03:38Some people, some people, yeah, they need shelter.
03:45Some people, some people, yeah, they need sleep.
03:52Some people, some people, yeah, they've got to wander.
03:58I've been blind too, now I see.
04:05I've been broken, lost, near nothing left of me.
04:12Maybe as I change, we'll find something easy, something you can hold
04:22that don't leave you in the cold or in the dark, in the dark.
04:32Some people, some people, yeah, they need shelter.
04:39Some people, some people, yeah, they need sleep.
04:46Some people, some people, yeah, they've got to wander.
04:54I've been blind to you, now I see.
05:07Now I see.
05:14Now I see it.
05:17Ooh, what I need.
05:24Ooh, what I need.
