Three Hopeful Thoughts

wow, these lyrics are seriously messed up. i'm not even going to start correcting them.

but as for meaning, i love it because it expresses (SO well) the feeling of just wanting to get someone out of your life. whether a friend or a love interest, sometimes you get to that point where you just need to drive away for good.

aren't the correct lyrics:

"All this talk about your sweet girlfriend Is starting to pay off And the charms that you got from travel Are starting to wear off

And I hope that you Smile tonight Watching the last of your friends arrive You'll smile and shake their hands

And the hero that you'd hoped you'd be Never seemed to show up And if I can keep from talking There won't be time to give up

And I hope that I Drive tonight Into the last of the great sunrises I'll smile and wave my hand Goodbye

If things don't work out Quite the way you planned It's almost half past two and I've begun to hate the way you Smile so smile

And I hope that you Close your eyes Block out the pain Of a thousand lives I hope that you Die tonight Just close your eyes There goes the light Smile I'll brave it While you wave your hand Goodbye" ?

okay, so, imma ignore the fucked up lyrics. i love this song so much.

"and balk at the pain of a thousand wives and i heard that you died tonight"

hahahah. thats pretty funny

nice try tho rjbucs.

wow ive alwayss liked this song a lot but didnt really think of the meaning today

to me this song is talking about how he is leaving this girl behind him in the best way he can

kinda crazy how i found this out today and last night a girl im with gave head to a random person

this song should help

To me, this song is about war : he adresses a friend of his who's probably a soldier. It's rather bitter and sad : the left-out girlfriend, people who die, the hero you never become... Anyone agrees with me?

Who is the man singing, may I ask?
