Mt. Hope Lyrics

Mixtapes Mt. Hope

I packed my car and headed west
With my guitar and some things to get off of my chest
And lately the weather can't get me down anymore
I just close the door and pretend I'm not a mess
And me and Matt, we just talked in the driveway
About how everyone just likes to stay inside
And listen to songs that make them feel nostalgic
But I won't let those dumb songs ruin my night

And Duncan broke down as it was getting late
And the night was great, but it can always be better
We won eight hundred bucks playing dice that day
And we picked him up down by one-twenty-eight
And it felt like we talked all night
And we watched bad movies, but some were alright
And I felt more at peace than I have in a while

Sometimes I think the best nights are only spent with
best friends
Sometimes I'd like to be alone
I guess it gets depressing
As these days stack up
As these nights fly by, it's good enough
It's good enough
We're all passing out for about an hour
To give the world a chance to get its shit together
Hiding out here in the shower
Cause it's safe and secure and I can't get hurt no more

And in light of all these dark, dark days
Sometimes I come down here to give me space
And when we're together, I feel stronger
That's why memories can't go away
And we sat down under that playground under the bridge
And as I looked up, these words, they came together
finally
And I saw the sign that takes me home
And that parking lot still stands and we laugh
I can't remember all the crazy nights
We all the missed the times that made us get here
It's funny cause I'm not sure we arrived
And when we fall down, we get back up
It's what I've learned when I feel alone
And the songs that made us lose our voices
Those songs can take us home

There's a piece of you in every song I sing
Not to mention my intentions when they get the best of
me
There's a place I go when I can't find the strength
break myself away
But I'm getting better every day
And if I survived, then you can too
