lyrics
At Hope Springs
Where love brings everything
Down to the ground
At Hope Springs
We'll take a sip be reborn or drown
Do we really keep pretending
We're in for a happy ending
When we've only just begun
like The Carpenters sung long ago
What do they know
(Truth hurts)
I'm letting go
(Made worse)
And I wanna show...
That Hope Springs
Where love brings everything
Down to the ground
At Hope Springs
We'll take a sip be reborn or drown
Close both your eyes
A surprise is beginning
See how the planets begin to stop spinning
Stars behind eyes stay frozen in patterns
Constant constellations
Where nothing else matters
Do you think you still adore me
Now I make me kneel before me
And I see by your eyes you realise
Oh please don't cry
It's only love that's died
At Hope Springs
Where love brings everything
Down to the ground
At Hope Springs
We'll take a sip be reborn or drown
