[Verse 1]
Hope is a dangerous thing
When there is nothing to hope for
Bird with one broken wing
And the sky slamming shut like
An old door
But when I call you, you listen
And you try to talk me down
But these heights are my prison
And now I know how it feels
When you, y'are not around

[Bridge]
Like the countryside after the war
Advertisements from boarded up stores
Like a stray dog that's outside your door
Like a sail full of wind of a
Ship that's been moored

[Verse 2]
Hope is a dangerous thing
When there is nothing to hope for
A cure for this empty feeling
A machine to fuse all these parts
In one whole
But when I call you, you listen
And you hear what I say
But I no, I no
Longer have to question
See the permit expired
And now there's no hope
