Hopeful Youth Songtext
von Dawson Gamble

You crashed your head in to my chest
And the band played something slow
′Till they told us to go home
You didn't let me, let me go
And you said, holding my hand
We′d find our way at last
That we were hopeful youth at best
So give it all that you've got left
Oh yeah

What would you say?
(My darling, my darling)
If I didn't want to play
(The music, the music)
If I wanna give up this time, it′s the real thing
Can′t go on no more, it's a sure thing
What would you say? (what would you say?)


Well it′s one too many times denied
And it's right behind that second door
One too many years behind
But you still push back for more

You crashed your head in to my chest
And the band played something slow
′Till they told us to go home
You didn't let me, let me go
And you said, holding my hand
We′d find our way at last
That we were hopeful youth at best
So give it all that you've got left

Well it's hope
(My darling, my darling)
Keeping me afloat
(The music, the music)
Well it′s punch for punch, it′s a dog fight
Well you gotta keep with it on the long night
Oh but you know (oh but you know)

Well it's one too many times denied
And it′s right behind that second door
One more year I think you'll find
That you′ll still push back for more


You crashed your head in to my chest
And the band played something slow
'Till they told us to go home
You didn′t let me, let me go
And you said, holding my hand
We'd find our way at last
That were hopeful youth at best
So give it all that you've got left

And it′s one more no
It′s another doubter
It's one more tired day to go
One more song without a crowd
And it′s one more goddamn empty show
It's one more fight to beat you down
But you′ve still got more
Let's go!

You crashed your head in to my chest
And the band played something slow
′Till they told us to go home
You didn't let me, let me go
And you said, holding my hand
We'd find our way at last
That were hopeful youth at best
So give it all that you′ve got left
You crashed your head in to my chest
And the band played something slow
′Till they told us to go home
You didn't let me, let me go
And you said holding my hand
We′d find our way at last
That were hopeful youth at best
So give it all that you've got left
Oh yeah
