Hope
Grant Nicholas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hope

Oh oh
Oh oh
I climbed into a field
Of rapeseed flowers
They sheltered me
From rain like arrows

Eye closed
Lips dry
I felt
Alive

I walked through the old town
Still lost in thought
My childhood memories
Flashed back and forth

Eyes full
Lips dry
I felt
Alive

When love
Is lost
Come home
Oh oh
Oh oh

When doors
Are closed
There's hope
Oh oh
Oh oh

Sent out a message
To meet you that day
I know it's only a start
But it's better than the silence

I crossed over the river
The tide was high
Ruins of Castle
Stood tall to the sky

Eyes drawn
Lips dry
I felt
Alive

When love
Is lost
Come home
Oh oh
Oh oh

Sent out a message
To meet you that day
I know it's only a start
But it's better than the silence

Now the wheels
Keep on turning
Pulling away
All In a day

I keep asking myself
What's like to be you
Caught in the crossfire
Too soon

Now I carry the thoughts
And reminders of you

Oh oh
Oh oh

When love
Is lost
Come home

Oh oh
Oh oh

When doors
Are closed
There's hope
Oh oh
Oh oh

Sent out a message
To meet you that day
I know it's only a start
But it's better than the silence

Now the wheels
Keep on turning
Pulling away
All in a day





Oh oh
Oh oh
