Hope This Finds You Well
Transit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You were walking down the dead end streets while I was chasing echoes.
Just trying to catch familiar voices.
But all I'm hearing is this:
"Your choices lead you down this road so if you're walking all alone"

Is that you, did you get lost, well I did too.

Did you get lost?

Maybe you got what you deserved.
Maybe you got what you deserved.

There's no hope in "live and learn"

Maybe you got what you deserved.
Maybe you got what you deserved.
There's no future
when every bridge is burned.

Is there any hope left for tomorrow

or are we just buying time.

Looking to an empty sky
so we don't have to look into our lives.

Is that you?

Did you get lost, well I did too.
Did you get lost.

Maybe you got what you deserved,
Maybe you got what you deserved.
There's no hope in "live and learn"

Maybe you got what you deserved,
Maybe you got what you deserved,
There's no future when ever bridge is burned.

and if you get the love you give the world
then you got what you deserved




and if I get the love you give the world
then I got what I deserved.
