lyrics

she's out of my league
out of my sport
I can't see her world
with a strong telescope
I asked her out once
she smiled and said nope
but I'm still
hopelessly
in hope

I wish she'd be mean
and treat me like trash
but when I tell stupid jokes
she throws her head back and laughs
she's just a good friend
and that's as far as it gets
making me
hopelessly
in hope

You tell me no
but "possibly" is all I hear
If you give me lemons
I'll make lemonade right here
And if I'm in denial then
I'll stay right here

Well she's long gone now
we both lost touch
now with time and with pills
She don't come to mind much
but that space never empties
that one thing I can't touch
Keepin me
hopelessly
in hope

you tell me no, but "possibly" is all I hear
if you give me lemons
I'll make lemonade right here
And if I'm in denial then I'll stay right here

And speaking of which
There is so much of that
beliefs I believe
despite all the facts
I'm out on a limb here
and there's no crawling back
leaving me
hopelessly in hope

Leaving me
Hopelessly in hope.
