Hope
The Hoppers Lyrics

See that's the thing
The thing is, you don't really overcome anything. You just get accustomed to it day by day.

You don't really get over anything
It's hard to forget tough experiences entirely. They shape you and stay with you.

You just kind of get used to it
Instead of moving on or forgetting, you learn to live with these experiences and adapt to them.

You know, every day
It's a daily process to cope with these experiences.

Do you ever get a feeling?
Have you ever had a sensation?

That you'll end up all alone
That you'll eventually find yourself entirely isolated.

Like where the fuck's my home
As if your home disappeared and you don't know where to go.

Do you ever get this yearning?
Do you ever feel a strong desire?

Your heart keeps turning like where did I go wrong?
Your emotions continue churning, wondering where you made a mistake.

I've had a pretty long day
My day has been fairly trying.

Got way too much to say
I've got a lot of thoughts and emotions to express.

Except I'm trying to finding a way to keep grinding
Despite feeling weighed down, I'm still trying to push through.

What the fuck even is a two-week notice?
I don't understand why I need to provide a notice before quitting my job.

I don't understand why I have to do more paperwork if I want to leave
It's frustrating that there are more requirements to quit than just announcing it.

I can't just get up and quit?
Is it really impossible to just leave a job without following the formal process?

(Like it's not that)
(It shouldn't be that difficult to quit.)

I've lost all motivation but it's not like it was there at the start
I've lost all willpower, though I didn't have much of it to begin with.

So I'll write this song for a girl who broke my heart
I'll express my heartbreak in this song I'm writing.

Wore my love on my sleeve
I showed my deep affection openly.

How could I ever believe things would change?
It's difficult to understand how I ever thought things would improve.

My luck's always been bad
I've had consistently negative experiences.

Have I always been sad, who knows?
I'm not sure if I've always been unhappy or if it's just recent.

And it just goes to show
This is the evidence.

'Cause I wrote this song for a girl who broke my heart
This is why I decided to write this song - because I had my heart broken.

I wrote this song for a girl who broke my
The girl who caused me pain is the reason why I'm writing this song.

Do you ever get a feeling?
Have you ever experienced a sensation?

That you've done this all along
This feels like something you've done forever.

Doing fine without her gone
You're actually okay even though she's not here anymore.

I tend to get a bit of yearning
I still feel a bit of longing.

But I'm still learning about what makes me sing this song
I'm still figuring out why I'm compelled to write about this.

For a girl who's just a hazy shade of blonde
This song is for a girl who's no longer clear in my memory.

She's long gone and I'm still moving on, done feeling wrong
She's out of my life now, and I'm continuing to persevere and overcome my negative emotions.

Took ten days to write this two-minute song
This song took a long time to create, even though it's not very long in duration.
