Hope
The Sunny Side Up Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That all these fables I will lay out
Are dressed in disguise
So lay me down
Lay me down
Will you keep in mind
That all the lies that I will try
Don't weigh me down
Don't weigh me down
Oh, I've been sleeping with Hope
That these stars will carry me
Away from all the vanity
Oh, I've been trading my Love
For a glimpse of what is real
Cause it's not how it's supposed to feel
You're just in time
To take my mind and
Cast the hurt that I've held aside
So lay me down
Lay me down
Youve read my mind
Turning pages you will find that
These flaws shine so bright
Tell me now
Please tell me now
Oh, I've been sleeping with Hope
That these stars will carry me
Away from all the vanity
Oh, I've been trading my Love
For a glimpse of what is real
Cause it's not how it's supposed to feel
I remember a heart that would race
And I remember when love set the pace
These words I will scream
They wont bring the light back
I remember strength once by my side
And I remember the tears that I've cried
When this is over
Forgive me, I'll plead
Oh, I've been sleeping with Hope
That these stars will carry me
Away from all the vanity
Oh, I've been trading my Love
For a glimpse of what is real
Cause it's not how it's supposed to feel
I've been sleeping with Hope

Will you keep in mind
Please remember
That all these fables I will lay out
I will tell you stories, but they may not be true
Are dressed in disguise
They may seem different than what they truly are
So lay me down
Let me rest
Lay me down
Please let me rest
Will you keep in mind
Please remember
That all the lies that I will try
I may not always tell the truth
To sell you tonight
To make you believe something that may not be true
Don't weigh me down
Don't burden me with your expectations
Don't weigh me down
Please don't burden me with expectations
I've been sleeping with Hope
I've been holding onto hope
That these stars will carry me
That my dreams will come true
Away from all the vanity
Away from materialism
I've been trading my Love
I've been giving up love
For a glimpse of what is real
In exchange for something genuine
Cause it's not how it's supposed to feel
Because this doesn't feel right
You're just in time
You arrived at the perfect moment
To take my mind and
To occupy my thoughts
Cast the hurt that I've held aside
To help me let go of my pain
So lay me down
Let me rest
Lay me down
Please let me rest
Youve read my mind
You know what I'm thinking
Turning pages you will find that
Looking deeper into my thoughts, you'll see that
These flaws shine so bright
My imperfections are very noticeable
Tell me now
Please speak up and tell me
Please tell me now
I'm asking you to speak up and tell me
I remember a heart that would race
I recall a time when I was excited
And I remember when love set the pace
I remember feeling so deeply in love
These words I will scream
I will say this loudly
They wont bring the light back
But saying it won't change what has happened
I remember strength once by my side
There was a time when I felt powerful
And I remember the tears that I've cried
I've been through tough times and cried a lot
When this is over
When this is all done
Forgive me, I'll plead
I'm begging for forgiveness
