Trading Twilight - Hopeful Melancholy Lyrics

You stood cold at the door
The streetlight shined through the apartment
You told me you didn't have anywhere else to go
Didn't want to speak, your legs trembled underneath you
Told me you were scared that if you went to sleep, you wouldn't wake up
We were always the hopeful melancholy
We were always looking for a way out
And lying on the floor
We were always the hopeful melancholy
We were always looking for a way out
Couldn't close our eyes
And just go to sleep at night
We sat down inside
You told me you were feeling sick
And with your eyes adrift
That you had taken a handful of pills
Gave you my coat as you shivered underneath it
Held you by the hand as we left for the hospital
We were always the hopeful melancholy
We were always looking for a way out
And lying on the floor
We were always the hopeful melancholy
We were always looking for a way out
Couldn't close our eyes
And just go to sleep at night
These clouds remind me
Of the days that we would spend at the park
You would tell me you didn't feel the same after dark
The perfect breeze, the perfect scenery
How we'd hide out until your parents came to pick you up
We were always the hopeful melancholy
We were always looking for a way out
We were always the hopeful melancholy
We were always looking for a way out
And lying on the floor
We were always the hopeful melancholy
We were always looking for a way out
But now we're getting our lives back
(We were always the hopeful melancholy)
(We were always the hopeful melancholy)
Even if you're not here with me
(We were always the hopeful melancholy)
(We were always the hopeful melancholy)
Couldn't close our eyes
And just go to sleep at night
