Geoff Baker - Hope Is Not a Compa**, It's a Cloud lyrics

I once knew a girl who couldn't k** a song We'd have to sit out the Beatles in her El Camino Waiting for the end to come along She left me for the Dead because I wouldn't wait On every single break that Uncle Jerry would take At some point it just gets late But I guess that's what you get when you're too pretty too young And every bruiser on the block will buck and break into a run Just to put a tab on your tongue They told you there was hope in a song I woke up next to you the morning your divorce came through Backseat in a Little Rock parking lot With a head too hurt to be true You prayed for love sweet love but baby I'm all they sent Not much to look at or shake a book at But good for half the rent But I guess that's what we get for being high and too wide Now everybody on the block is trying to talk you back to Christ Just to put a turn in your tide They're telling you there's hope in a guide At the end you used to say we were like quotation marks Words got between us not worth repeating And kept us hard apart Better on the move is better on your own Hell, even I can see what everybody calls freedom Is nothing but being alone But I guess that's what we get for being fast and too free Now everybody on the block knew you were better than me And talk of other fish in the sea Made you hope for things you can't see Hope is not a compa**, it's a cloud and one of the brightest It proves there's light but will not let you get To where the light is Hope is not a compa**, it's a cloud and one of the brightest It knows there's light but will not let you get To know what light is
