I Hope You Know
Tiz McNamara Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Won't you blow out all the candles?
Wish the world away
Hope for something better
Before life gets in the way

I hope you know
I hope you know
You were 9 and I was 7
When you showed me how to live
You said nothing lasts forever
But something's gotta give

I hope you know
I hope you know

Well I know that's been ages
And I hope you know I'm here
I heard your mother's sick again
And i'm praying for you dear

I hope you know
I hope you know





Wooooooah x13
