Three Hopeful Thoughts

(album: The Execution Of All Things - 2002)

All this talk about your sweet girlfriend
Is starting to pay off
And the charms that you got from travel
Are starting to wear off

And i hope that you
Smile tonight
Watching the last of your friends arrive
You'll smile and shake their hands

And the hero that you'd hoped you'd be
Never seemed to show up
And if i can keep from talking
There won't be time to give up

And i hope that i
Drive tonight
Into the last of the great sunrises
I'll smile and wave my hand
Goodbye

If things don't work out
Quite the way you planned
It's almost half past two and
I've begun to hate the way you
Smile so smile

And i hope that you
Close your eyes
Block out the pain
Of a thousand lives
I hope that you
Die tonight
Just close your eyes
There goes the light
Smile i'll brave it
While you wave your hand
Goodbye
