Hopeful Melancholy Lyrics by Trading Twilight

Revitalization of the Human Soul

2024

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
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 closе our eyes
And just go to sleep at night

[Versе 2
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

[Chorus 2]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus 3]
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

[Outro Chorus]
(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
