A Lot Less Than We Hoped For

Lyrics

I called you up last night Cause I could hardly sleep There was something on my mind It was clearly bothering me So you knocked on my door I went and let you in There was something odd about this Where do I begin? You told me maybe once I'm older I could do the things That I asked you all about When I was under your wing You told me people when they're older They may go away To a place inside your mind So don't forget their name All that I can hear tonight Is the silence when your voice breaks It's time like these we realize We're worth a lot less than we hoped for I woke you up last night Cause I could hardly sleep There's a picture on my nightstand That keeps staring at me It's not the Mona Lisa Nor the Starry Night Or The Son of Man That's giving me this fright Can you take it down And just put it away? There are somethings on my mind That keep me up for days Cause we all have those nights When there's no reason to sleep Cause you'll be back inside your real life Where we're hoping you'll be All that I can hear tonight Is the silence when your voice breaks It's time like these we realize We're worth a lot less than we hoped for You told me life was getting hard And you can't keep holding up You told me so many things That I just can't live without I wish that I could live forever with you here by my side But the time is now upon us where we have to say goodbye
