Lyrics
You Get My Hopes Up Girl
©2012 Michael Porter & Wake Eastman
Peripetia Music, Inc. (BMI)
I am growing jaded
About the human race
I worry about the future and our fate
My confidence is shaken
In ways I don't understand
Then you restore it all when you take my hand
When you take my hand
You get my hopes up girl
For a brighter day
You get my hopes up girl
For a better way
And I know that this old world is gonna be okay
You get my hopes up
For a better day
When I read the paper
Turn on the TV
I swear this world's gone crazy - it's upside down to me
You can't take a leap of faith
When you're on sinking sand
Then you become the rock on which I stand
On which I stand
You get my hopes up girl
For a brighter day
You get my hopes up girl
For a better way
And I know that this old world is gonna be okay
You get my hopes up
For a better day
Repeat Chorus
