High Hopes
The Vamps Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well I met you yesterday,
You took my breath away
And I kinda like the way that you're so damn unpredictable
That was just history,
It turned into you and me
The world keeps spinning,
It won't stop, it's just beginning
'Cause I got high hopes, high hopes.
High hopes for me and you
And when we grow old, I'll say "I told you so"
'Cause I got high (high, high) hopes
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo
I can move in with you,
And we could get married too
Go on our honeymoon,
Maybe we should finish this coffee first
It might sound a little weird,
It's like I've known you for years
So every word you hear might just sound a little over rehearsed
The world keeps spinning,
It won't stop, it's just beginning
'Cause I got high hopes, high hopes.
High hopes for me and you (for me and you, yeah)
And when we grow old, I'll say "I told you so"
'Cause I got high (high, high) hopes
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo
(Woo-hoo, woo-hoo) Ba ba ba ba ba bada, ba ba ba ba ba bada,
High hopes
(Woo-hoo, woo-hoo) Ba ba ba ba ba bada, ba ba ba ba ba bada
The world keeps spinning,
It won't stop, it's just beginning
'Cause I got high hopes, high hopes,
High hopes for me and you, (for me and you yeah baby)
When we grow old, I'll say "I told you so"
'Cause I got high,
I got high hopes, high hopes
High hopes for me and you, (for me and you yeah baby)
When we grow old, I'll say "I told you so"
'Cause I got high hopes
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo
High hopes!

You took my breath away

Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes
Mama said
Fulfill the prophecy
Be something greater
Go make a legacy
Manifest destiny
Back in the days
We wanted everything, wanted everything
Mama said
Burn your biographies
Rewrite your history
Light up your wildest dreams
Museum victories, everyday
We wanted everything, wanted everything
Mama said don't give up, it's a little complicated
All tied up, no more love and I'd hate to see you waiting
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes
Mama said
It's uphill for oddities
The stranger crusaders
Ain't ever wannabes
The weird and the novelties
Don't ever change
We wanted everything, wanted everything
Stay up on that rise
Stay up on that rise and never come down
Stay up on that rise
Stay up on that rise and never come down
Mama said don't give up, it's a little complicated
All tied up, no more love and I'd hate to see you waiting
They say it's all been done but they haven't seen the best of me
So I got one more run and it's gonna be a sight to see
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes
