Standing, wading through the waters
Skipping stones across the sea
Ain’t it funny how things can change so quickly
When the home you love is sinking, around you
I’ll find a way to make it all okay
I’ll make the time to mend these severed ties
The more I listen, the more I hear
The more I realise why we are here
We are stronger together
Little girl, oh, she’s smiling
Lost her family not long ago
But with the help of her friends she made it through
I guess that says something for me and you
Oo
I’ll find a way to make it all okay
I’ll make the time to mend these severed ties
The more I listen, the more I hear
The more I realise why we are here
We are stronger together
Oh you think it’s all going wrong
Till I say to you
This I say to you
Don’t worry time will play things out
Till I say to you
This I say to you
I’ll find a way to make it all okay
I’ll make the time to mend these severed ties
The more I listen, the more I hear
The more I realise why we are here
We are stronger
We are stronger
Together

My name is called into the room
Why am I here, so confused
Your lips say the words I cannot say to myself
I hear a little silver bell
Colour the room and pull me out
Shades of yellow painted over with pale blue
They’ll say it’s overused
But I can’t feel you in the room
It’s new (Oo)
It’s new (Oo)
It's new (Oo)
It’s blue
Panic and pull me out of bed
My lungs are aching like my head
The sight of older people keeping me at bay
Patch up the hole that’s on my sleeve
But leave my insecurities
They’re safer where I can see them, keep them all at bay
They’ll say it’s overused
But I can’t feel you in the room
It’s new (Oo)
It’s new (Oo)
It's new (Oo)
It’s blue
It’s new (Oo)
It’s new (Oo)
It's new (Oo)
It’s blue
It’s blue
It’s blue

Fresh painted countertops
The paint it sticks to my car keys
You think it’s easier to walk away
When you’re faced with the heat
Thrown at me like a bottle
Are the words, flying from their mouths
Phrases you’d never wanna hear
Why don’t you go be someone else
You pray to the lord that things will get better
And you hope for the days where the rain never matters
You pray to the world that time will mend the pain
And you wish for the times where the sun sets only for us
Hot coffee stains the countertops
As things begin to overflow
A boiling pot explodes into the rhythm
Of a volcano
You think it’s kinda funny
Riling me up when I’m half awake
You think it’s so amusing
Breaking my heart day after day
You pray to the lord that things will get better
And you hope for the days where the rain never matters
You pray to the world that time will mend the pain
And you wish for the times where the sun sets only for us

So many fall apart at
The sound of potential goodbye
Questioning who’s around the bend
When it all goes to custard pie
They say fight it
But I’ll try, I’ll try to bite it down
Come Closer to me
Come Closer to me
Trying your best to lend a hand
When your fingers are paralysed
Wondering who is really there
To pick you up in desperate times
They say fight it
But I’ll try, I’ll try to bite it down
Come Closer to me
Come Closer to me
Come Closer to me
Come Closer to me
To me, to me (Alive, alive)
Come Closer to me
Come Closer to me
Come Closer to me
Come Closer to me

Hey stranger, pack your coat
We’re going on the gravel road
There’ll be room to scrape your knees
Stand up if you please
Oh I
Call it hope
Call it hope
Hey sunshine you’re the best
Writing poems to get it off your chest
There’s always gonna be a need
Hallways fill up with your glee
Oh I
Call it hope
Call it hope
(Call it hope) All you need to get back home
Young and free and wild with hope
(Call it hope) Trusting in the winding road
Call it hope
Call it hope
Call it hope
Call it hope
Hey stranger before you go
I wrote a song, call it hope
