City and Colour - Hope for Now Lyrics

This highway's dark and empty
Just miles and miles of endless road
I've got a sickness pounding in my head
I'm at the mercy of the ghost

What will it take to live as if I would not another day?
To live without despair, and to be without disdain

How can I instil such hope
But be left with none of my own?
What if I could sing just one song
And it might save somebody's life?

I sought after, after reasons to stay
I was lost, I was lost
Then the sky turned black
And the rains poured down
I was waiting, waiting to be found oh, no

How can I instil such hope
But be left with none of my own?
What if I could sing just one song
And it might save somebody's life?

Then I would sing all that I could sing
'Cause that is when, when I feel that I'm not just counting time.
Oh, when I sing all that I can sing
Maybe just for a moment things would seem all right
Oh when I sing, oh when I sing, yeah
Oh when I sing, oh when I sing
