Soo Line Loons, Charlie Parr - Hope Lyrics

Last spring, I quit drinking I spent my Friday nights
With the other addicts at the rec center off highway five
Playing pick-up volleyball, I didn't have a clue
Some of them yelled at me in Russian and told me what to do
I couldn't make out a word
I'm pretty sure I heard them saying
Hope

I catch myself thinking "what got you to this place?"
Sometimes the lowest lows can make you feel like you're from outer space
It was Summit Avenue on a bright Sunday morn
I threw my guts up in the gutter as church folk passed by in their cars
It's ok if we don't believe
In the same exact things just
Hope

And through it all I've got a feeling I can't shake
I can be better than the sum of all of my mistakes
I might slip and fall and stumble like a fool
But I got a good heart, just ain't so good at shining through
I can't help what they see
I can only keep bringing
Hope
