Hopes Too High
Tift Merritt

Listen, baby, I won't leave no trace
Gonna light out of here for some cleaner place
I'll be sittin' in the backseat with my hair in my face
Gone fast as freedom on a good wind

And if I got my hopes too high
This is no easy kind of life
See it in my mind's eye
Touch me real as daytime
I can't keep from trying

No place to run for a girl like me
Whole lot of used tos and supposed to bes
I wanna burn like August
Shine like gold dust
Where everyday living can't hold me

And if I got my hopes too high
This is no easy kind of life
See it in my mind's eye
Touch me when it's daytime
I can't keep from trying

So when I reach for you
From some way-down place
Don't be a stranger
Who won't show his face
I've got no promise but these words I say
I carry you, you carry me

And if I got my hopes too high
This is no easy kind of life
See it in my mind's eye
Touch me when it's daytime
I can't keep from trying

See it in my mind's eye
Touch me when it's daytime
I can't keep from trying
