Prisoner of Hope

My friends say she's sophisticated and free, Never fall for an outlaw like me Too high and refined, I'm just wastin' my time, Forget her But I'm kind of caught in the web The lady has gone to my head I no longer cope, I'm a prisoner of hope since I met her I'm a prisoner of hope, just trying to win the smile in her eyes, the touch of her skin She would discount me as one of her friends Somehow I know where the friendship would end With her in my arms and her by my side With her in my days and her in my nights Making up love out of pure fantasy Prisoners of hope never want to be free. Yesterday I caught her in a glance More than a coincidence But she turned away as if to say "I'm above it" She says that love is a trick of the night and it's all done with mirrors and lights But when I act like a fool like some kid back in school, she loves it I'm a prisoner of hope, just trying to win the smile in her eyes, the touch of her skin She would discount me as one of her friends Somehow I know where the friendship would end With her in my arms and her by my side With her in my days and her in my nights Making up love out of pure fantasy Prisoners of hope never want to be free.
