The Hopeful Effect (feat. Zach Alwin)

[00:06.99] We've been on earth too long
[00:10.93] Good God, please strike us down
[00:14.33] We used to roam around
[00:16.47] With friends together through the town
[00:18.60] But that was so long ago
[00:22.40] And now the world has changed
[00:26.11] My friends don't look the same
[00:29.73] Packed and moved away and
[00:31.82] I've not seen them since the day
[00:33.70] We lost hope so long ago
[01:00.80] Born two blocks apart
[01:04.66] I'm sorry I stole your heart
[01:08.66] But in my defense
[01:10.15] Yeah, I was full of innocence
[01:12.02] And you took that away from me
[01:16.18] But now the world has changed
[01:20.02] My first love got engaged
[01:23.42] Oh how much I hoped
[01:26.15] That one day we would elope
[01:27.44] And the rest would be history
[02:07.51] 8 years since I've been clean
[02:09.65] I can't explain what it means
[02:12.08] Or the hopeful effect that it has
[02:15.44] It's time to close the book
[02:17.56] And burn it up for good
[02:19.66] Is this how it ends?
[02:35.90] How it ends
[02:44.23] How it ends
[02:51.37] How it ends
[02:59.47] How it ends
[03:09.06] 8 years since I've been clean
[03:11.16] I can't explain what it means
[03:13.21] Or the hopeful effect that it has
[03:16.68] It's time to close the book
[03:18.74] And burn it up for good
[03:21.10] This is how it ends
[03:24.28] How it ends.
