  • (Woo)

    Uh, I end my day, the same way it started
    Alone in LA, while I grieve the departed
    Waiting, waiting for someone, someone to change my life (hey)
    Brand new shirt, yes, it's a little expensive
    Oh, whatever works, to put some joy in the engine
    And I go out on the town, tryin' to change my night
    Mm, and doing it over and over and over and over again
    Oh, hell

    I need some high hopes, Lord knows I could use 'em
    I know I'ma lose 'em when the wheels fall off
    Hey now, lend some independence
    Stuck inside the fences, like a goddamn dog
    Long nights, heavy feelings
    They say I'm unappealing when I shoot my shot
    Come here, honey, show me how to do it
    Does love come around or does one come around to it?
    (Oh, yeah)

    I get undressed, in the arms of a stranger
    Then second-guess, that ol' half-sober behavior
    Do I really, do I really believe that someone could change my life?
    Uh, I'm doing it over and over and over and over again
    Where does it end? Mm

    I need some high hopes, Lord knows I could use 'em
    I know I'ma lose 'em when the wheels fall off
    Hey now, lend some independence
    Stuck inside the fences, like a goddamn dog
    Long nights, heavy feelings
    They say I'm unappealing when I shoot my shot
    Come here, honey, don't know how to do it
    Does love come around or does one come around to it? (Woo)

    Woo, talking 'bout high (high), hopes (hopes)
    Lord knows I could use 'em
    I know I'ma lose 'em when the wheels fall off
    Hey (hey), now (now), lend some independence
    Stuck inside the fences, like a goddamn dog (okay)
    High (high), hopes (hopes), Lord knows I could use 'em
    I know I'ma lose 'em when the wheels fall off
    Hey (hey), now (now), lend some independence
    Stuck inside the fences, like a goddamn dog

    (Yeah)
    High hopes, oh, I could use 'em (woo)
    High hopes, don't let me lose 'em now
    High hopes, oh, I could use 'em
