Hope.

from Ben Zaidi · host Ben Zaidi

Written & Produced by Ben Zaidi Trumpet by Tree Palmedo Lyrics: I didn't know if I could do it but I hoped I would I hoped I would I would sit up on my bed alone, thinking that I never won't try But the city gets hard and I feel it on my heart sometimes That the world's so tall it could probably leave us all behind But I swing back around when I think of my town And the nights made warm by the love of my friends We were all trying to be something back then The tune we were humming got stuck in my head I believed and then all of a sudden I left I was burning down the highway windows open Screaming at the night till my voice was broken Thinking that I might make something of this And that hope’s still the only thing I’m holding I didn't know if I could do it but I hoped I would I hoped I would I didn't know if you would love me but I hoped you could I hoped you could I like the way that you talk Feels like something I ain't know but I sought That's the feeling you've got Like a lyric that you know once you hear it you'd thought I like the way that you think Feels like a song no one else could sing But what if you ain't love me back I thought that you could love me back that night When I laid with you and I played for you my life When it came down to it I felt like I knew if I tried There was a hope you’d see who I hoped I’d be inside And that hope was the song that kept me going I didn't know if I could do it but I hoped I would I hoped I would I didn't know if you would love me but I hoped you could I hoped you could Lately, I've been a little off track All of these years like a weight on my back All of these fears I won't make it, I'm faking I'm afraid I should throw away the faith that I had But when I finally fall to pieces Will you tell me I don't need this Or will you show me to the youth I'd left Where the hope was the only thing I'd known and I didn't know if I could do it but I hoped I would I hoped I would I didn't know if you would love me but I hoped you could I hoped you could
