Ritter, Josh - Hopeful Lyrics
Supposedly it was a wise wise man
who said it’s better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all, never to have loved.
How many times does the truth that you take to be true
Is just truth falling apart at the same speed as you
And you’re just a few pieces of fallin’ debris
And she’s hopeful. Hopeful. For me.
I’m coming out of the dark clouds
She went away and she packed all her lovin’
I could not believe it how little there was
I stood in the cold kitchen with nothin’ to say
Who’d keep the whole world spinning when she went away yeah?
That I wanted somebody I’d mistaken for her
But one look in my eyes and she’d know she was wrong
So she wouldn’t look back at me until she was gone
How many times did you give all your love
And find out it was so far from far from enough?
I followed her out into the street in the rain
And the whole world stopped spinning and just went up in flames
And she’s hopeful. Hopeful. For me.
I’m coming out of the dark clouds
She’s hopeful. Hopeful, for me.
She says it to me often
The sunlight corroded and the days started to fail
The rocks in the road sharpened shadows to nails
The fencepost were empty and so were the trees
Had the bluebird of use on its’ last tune for me
I’ve seen her around now with someone new I don’t know
She likes greed-eyed boys who are haloed in hope
But I know the look in his eyes and I know all the old signs
Just a couple more curves before his own road unwinds
These days I’m feelin’ better about the man that I am
There’s some things I can change and there’s others I can’t
I met someone new now I know I deserve
I never met someone who loves the world more than her
She has been through her own share of hard times as well
And she has learned how to tear out the heaven from hell
Most nights I’m alright still all rocks roll down hill
But she says I’ll get better, she knows that I will
And she’s hopeful. Hopeful, for me
I’m coming out of the dark clouds
She’s hopeful. Hopeful, for me
Comin’ out of the dark clouds, Comin out of the dark clouds
The word is as the world is
Everybody’s gonna hurt like hells some times
The word is as the world is
Everybody’s gonna hurt like hells some times some times

Sometimes Josh reaches into your soul and exposes every single thing you’ve ever tried to hide from the world. I’m certain he knows every bit of my inside.

This is Amazing!
Back near Christmas of this year, I had just had the most fufilling relationship I've had to date blow up in the most agonizing fashion - In the way that leaves you bitter, miserable and feeling utterly betrayed.
I remember thinking about how despite the girl reassuring me I was a good man and that I'd make it, her words meant so little in the face of what she'd done to me, and I had all this anguish inside me; Without her, I also had no one to vent it to and no real way to deal with it aside from bearing through it.
Christmas goes by like just another day, then the morning after I don't have the will to get out of bed, but my radio's on. That's the first time this song came on, and I was baffled at how perfect it felt at the time.

How's your life goin?
Good music here
This is a remix of the Rodriguez song no?

Sounds more like Dylan to me.
That's how he got me too. The sneaky bastard.
when you can relate to every verse in a song, you know that its behind the mind of a great song writer
