GODSPEED

I feel like an idiot

I believed you when you told me

That Jesus runs the government from a high rise

On the far side of town

We watch the people come take photographs

They strike a pose and fake a laugh

And no one cares to do the math

Don't you get your hopes up now

I'll miss the point if you don't scream it out

There's a number on your phone that you don't call

Like a doorbell ringing down the hall

And the words you said I can't recall

Maybe I don't need to

Maybe I don't need to

Jump ship, there's an old guy shaking hands

Pole dancing like a fireman

Wants us to come see his daughter's band

At the bar dive on the far side of town

Foreclosure on city hall

Touchdown playing baseball

Godspeed to the know-it-alls

In a basement, cigarettes in their mouths

Don't you get your hopes up now

I'll miss the point if you don't scream it out

There's a number on your phone that you don't call

Like a doorbell ringing down the hall

And the words you said I can't recall

Maybe I don't need to

Maybe I don't need to

Don't you get your hopes up now

Don't you get your hopes up now

Don't you get your hopes up now

Maybe I don't need to

Maybe I don't need to

Gonna get, gonna get my hopes up

Gonna get, gonna get my hopes up

Gonna get, gonna get my hopes up

Gonna get, gonna get, gonna get get get

Gonna get, gonna get my hopes up

(Don't you get your hopes up now)

Gonna get, gonna get my hopes up

Gonna get, gonna get my hopes up

Gonna get, gonna get my hopes up
