歌词：

Song：Hope
Artist：Alien Ant Farm

Hope is the thin I'm feeling today.
Walking a mile out of the way,
I still might make it though.
Turn on your street
And See a car.
One where I thought mine should be parked
Finding our home a house of pain
See in an instant
things can change
And never feel the same.
Turn on your street and see a car.
One where I thought mine should be parked.

If that's what you demand,
Then that's what I'll deliver..
If that's what you demand,
Then that's just what I'll give you.

Trenches³ dug out the side of the road.
Remember the smell of earth in piles.
And there was nothing else to do
But walk for miles.
So I walked for miles.

If that's what you demand,
Then that's wht I'll deliver.
If that's what you demand,
Then that's just what I'll give you.

Turn on your street
And see a car.
Someone I thought was a friend
to me has ripped⁴ a hole in my life.
Someone I thought was a friend
to me has gone and married my wife.

If that's what you demand,
Then that's wht I'll deliver.
If that's what you demand,
Then that's just what I'll give you.

If that's your master plan,
Then I wish you two the best together.
