I Hope I'm Not Wrong

I'm finally 23, I've seen so many countries I thought I'd never get to see

And I understand the blessing I've been given by being able to get in front of an audience

And sometimes I wish I could take this back and find a way back

To the friendships I had before I started chasing after all of this

When everybody else is getting married and having kids

And I'm trying to get rid of the thought that over the next five years

She left 'cause she wanted to have children, but I still wanted to be a kid

And I don't think I'm gonna change anytime soon

I hope that my son and I will have some things in common

So we can talk often

And we'll share it all

I hope that my son and I will have some things in common

'Cause me and his mom will love each other

Oh, I hope I'm not wrong

And love is like poison

I'm listening to the voices

Of what I thought I understood

We're tasting our own venom

And turning it into a weapon

And trying to say it's all for good

And I can see through what I thought was a wall

And I can tell you now, I don't know it all

I hope that my son and I will have some things in common

So we can talk often

And we'll share it all

I hope that my son and I will have some things in common

'Cause me and his mom will love each other

Oh, I hope I'm not wrong

He told her that he felt he was just a quick bird in cigarette

And she had a whole pack

He knew the analogy is tried

But he also knew she would understand

He knew she was smart

She just did not understand that being addicted to something does not mean you need it

He, on the other hand understood

But only because he was an addict first

He’s prayers had become violent but not towards anyone

Just towards the hurricane he felt in his lungs every time she took another drag

He was alone

And he hoped she was, too
