The Report - Stray Hope Lyrics

I've got this sense of hope and it won't go away
Won't see it for months then it turns up like a stray
I've got this sense of hope

I didn't set out to adopt it, scratching around in the dirt
Cos feeding any hope sounds far too much like work
I've got this strange stray hope

Stray hope, stray hope

Oh sure I beat it back, I told it it can't stay
Can't keep this thing alive but the damn thing wants to play
I've got this strange stray hope

Stray hope, stray hope
Stray hope, stray hope

I tell you why I'm in no mood to give myself to this
Easy as it is to love, it's always hope that kills
Stray hope, hope
Hope
Stray hope

I've got this sense of hope, it must have a thousand lives
Cos it always creeps on back through the open door
Let me keep my hope
Let me keep my hope
Let me keep my hope
