The Hope Will Kill Us lyrics

Dear Michael came to stay in June,
I lent him the keys to my spare room.
We smoked and drank and dreamt of better days to come.

But now every evening's just the same,
he's always portioning the blame,
saying "I should've made it, there's no more I could have done."

But there's no time to celebrate this mediocrity,
I hate to break this cosy scene
but the hope will kill us all.

Now it's the evening of the day,
it seems I've dreamt my life away;
the missed opportunities I hung my hopes upon.

But honey this innocence can't last.
Don't you grow up too fast, you'll miss these moments when they're gone because they're never coming back.
