The Gate Belle and Sebastian

In the hope I’ll forget, I’ll wait
It’s a chance I’ll take, oh yeah
In the hope I’ll forget, I’ll wait
For the time

In the spring I’ll watch my step
While the night-time passes by
When a smile suits me all alone
I’ll be fine

There’s got to be a better song to sing
Before I hang upon your shoulder
Telling the truth it may be bolder this time
There’s got to be a better song to sing
That makes a lonely one less cold, oh
Before I hang upon your shoulder and cry

Watching friends playing in the dirt
Feeling hard but feeling hurt
By the sadness that wastes my time
It’s a crime

Counting acts which I must add
To collect sad memories
From a past I’d soon forget
Swap or leave
