lyrics

Not What I Had Hoped

Can we stay for a while? Cuz I’m already here.
Let our jobs hold the threat of the morning,
some nights we shouldn’t care.

Yea, we could dream for a while and get carried away again.
I’d pick myself up again just to see where this ends.
But I know, and you know, what you'll say.

We passed out two post-grads withdrawn and without return.
We got sick off the culture, it was four years betrayed.
We were coerced to this system and it chained us to the black and red.
Lets sell all this shit back and start up again.
But i know, and you know, what you'll say.

We watered down everything.
We pawned off all our dreams for this?
Fuck that life.
I’d sell this shit back and start up again
and then on the road we'll retell our desperations end.

Cuz it’s not the life I subscribed to.
I want those days back simple and free.
I want the sun on my back
and the wind in my lungs.
Fuck this office recycled AC.
It’s not the life I subscribed to
and if you're willing we'd make our escape.
Would you crawl out with me?
I'd hope you’d crawl out with me.
Will you crawl out with me?

I know what you'll say.
Yea, I know what you'll say.
I think I’ll stay for a while, cuz I’m already here.
