What I Hope For
Equatronic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
when it's time to grab
listen to her words, listen what she said
know where you belong to
there is no doubt
no one gets hurt when your mind turns inside out
what I have is what I want
what I hope for
just a little bit more
tiny steps on an oozy ground
searching for something that cannot be found
enlighten love in darkness to reveal the pain
until you realise you wait in vain
