Wild Hope

Mandy Moore Wild Hope Lyrics
1.Extraordinary

And now I'm ready

I was a bay tree
Quiet and unseen
I lived in stories but inside I kept a mystery
I was a starling
Nobody's darling
Flying in perfect circles
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready to be
A midnight airplane
A window blowing
I know I am another sparkle in the sky
I shine on copper
Still undiscovered
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready to be
Waking up to wake up some day
I am my own prey
Stopping off at a sidewalk cafe
The wind is playing in the trees
Kicking up confetti leaves
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready to be
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready to be
Extraordinary
end
And now I'm ready
A midnight airplane
Waking up to wake up some day
Extraordinary
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready


2.All Good Things

All good things
All good things
Not sure where to go
Everybody I know
Says I'm too forgiving
And now that I'm wrong
I don't wanna move on
All good things
I wish you
All good things
Come to an end
All good things
Lost inside of my head
Empty side of the bed
I fill this place without you
I keep pushing the blues
'Cause I don't wanna lose
All good things
I wish you
All good things
Come to an end
All good things
I could think of a million ways
You proved you weren't the one for me
To live inside of your shades of grey
I got so much space
now I got a whole house
With the wind blowin' through
I don't need someone to hide
I got this whole world inside
All good things
I wish you
All good things
Come to an end
All good things
All good things
Oh
All good things
Oh, oh, oh
All good things
I wish you well
end
I got so much space
All good things
All good things
Lost inside of my head
I could think of a million ways
All good things
All good things
All good things


3.Slummin In Paradise

I'm a long way off
But I'm still around
Sitting on the couch
I'm watching you
And if I take my time
All the others give in
I just know that you're worth the wait
It's of no concern
It's a risk I'd gladly take
From time to timeCHORUS
Don't worry about yourself at all
I'll hang your work up on my wall
Hose you down and dress you up real nice
With some brand new plans and a fancy car
With some brand new plans and a fancy car
Try to place your superstar
'Cause you can tell the story of your life
I wonder how you feel
Or do I?
Standing on the corner
How's your view?
From the other side
oh Mr. Right
Its not a pretty sight alone
Don't worry about yourself at all
I'll hang your work up on my wall
Hose you down and dress you up real nice
With some brand new plans and a fancy car
With some brand new plans and a fancy car
Try to place your superstar
'Cause you can tell the story of your life
I wonder how you feel
You won't often see this letter
Handed over right away
I know the first time I found you wonderful
Don't worry about yourself at all
I'll hang your work up on my wall
Hose you down and dress you up real nice
With some brand new plans and a fancy car
Try to place your superstar
'Cause you can tell the story of your life
I wonder how you feel
end
With some brand new plans and a fancy car
I wonder how you feel
I just know that you're worth the wait


4.Most of Me

I'd rather cement my words this way
This could be the easy road out
But I'm just not all that happy
So I'm writing all this down
And I'll file it in a drawer someday
In lieu of a conversation
We'd probably forget to have anywayCHORUS
I won't hold anything back
I won't hold anything in
Feel like I know where this is going
And I might know how it ends
But I'm still
Willing to begin
And why I'm optimistic cautiously
I understand it's not your fault
You still end up with
I expect you to fly from NY to LA
I won't hold anything back
I won't hold anything in
Feel like I know where this is going
And I might know how it ends
But I'm still
Willing to begin
And land on my doorstep
And smile at me and say
It was worth it to see most of me
You're just crossing paths
With the way he left me
I'm not sayin' a word
But I'm watching you quietly
You're gonna have to prove me wrong
Before I know this is right
We don't have to decide tonight
Just wait for me patiently
And you'll get all of me
I won't hold anything back
I won't hold anything in
Feel like I know where this is going
And I might know how it ends
But I'm still
Willing to begin
You should know my story by now
I expect you to fly from NY to LA
You still end up with
You're just crossing paths
I'd rather cement my words this way
I'd rather cement my words this way


You should know my story by now


5.Few Days Down

It's a take-out weekend
It's a fake-out smile and pretend
If nobody sees you cry
You can say it was raining outsideCHORUS
And all that you want
Is a few days down
All that you need
A little time to drown
It's to be expected
With all the weight you carry 'round
All that you want is
A Few Days Down
A Few Days Down
It's a short vacation
To a foreign nation
Oh, nothing familiar here
I'm looking out
And all that you want
Is a few days down
All that you need
A little time to drown
It's to be expected
With all the weight you carry 'round
All that you want is
A Few Days Down
A Few Days Down
Ten stories high
And like a blanket lifted
The quiet night
The city finally waking up
To the morning light
And all that you want
Is a few days down
All that you need
A little time to drown
It's to be expected
With all the weight you carry 'round
All that you want is
A Few Days Down
A Few Days Down
A Few Days Down
A Few Days Down

I'm looking out


6.Can't You Just Adore Her

She likes chocolate in the morning
She drinks her coffee late at night
You can sense that she is guarded
But that's alright
She'll fall asleep while your still talking
With unfinished books beside her bed
She'll cancel all of her appointments
And go shopping insteadCHORUS
And in spite of what is right
Far beyond what she'd except
When the moon begs the question
Will you have the answer yet?
Can't you just adore her?
She loves to watch the sunset
But she is partial to the rain
With those tears and that umbrella
Her allure goes unexplained
You made dinner in your apartment
You both assume that she'll be late
She always has the best intentions
And in spite of what is right
Far beyond what she'd except
When the moon begs the question
Will you have the answer yet
Can't you just adore her?
Can't you just adore her?
And in spite of what is right
Far beyond what she'd except
When the moon begs the question
Will you have the answer yet?
Can't you just adore her?
She loves to watch the sunset
I drink my coffee late at night
end
She loves to watch the sunset
And in spite of what is right
I like chocolate in the morning


7.Looking Forward to Looking Back

I'm looking forward to looking back on these days

Drove to your house in the hills
Where I wanted to be
The lights were all on
And I knew you were waiting for me
And that road became familiar
Like the mystery shape of your heartCHORUS
And I know you loved me in your way
I'm looking forward to looking back on these days
And I'm fine, but I'm not okay
The fog in the morning clouded the world that we knew
It was almost enough being lonely and living for you
Let it go
And I know you loved me in your way
I'm looking forward to looking back on these days
And I'm fine, but I'm not okay
The fog in the morning clouded the world that we knew
Let it go sunshine
Now you know
Now you know its time
You were asleep while I gathered my things in the dark
The burns on my fingers were all that was left of the spark
Didn't want to wake you
I'm looking forward to looking back on these days
And I know you loved me in your way
I'm looking forward to looking back on these days
And I'm fine, but I'm not okay
The fog in the morning clouded the world that we knew
Let it go
Let it go
The fog in the morning clouded the world that we knew
You were asleep while I gathered my things in the dark


8.Wild Hope

In the crazy world
Anything can happen
If you will it to
I'm just a hazy girl
Blurring all the edges
Only seeing blueCHORUS
It's a Wild Hope
A Wild Hope
A Wild Hope
Everything will be alright
Lost inside
Days goes by
I catch a glimpse of our reflection
It's a Wild Hope
A Wild Hope
A Wild Hope
Everything will be alright
Beside you I see myself
We are the season's new collection
Walk alone
Through the crowded streets into the fading grey
Here and gone
Like a decoration for the holiday
It's a Wild Hope
A Wild Hope
A Wild Hope
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
end
Days goes by
I catch a glimpse of our reflection
Walk alone


9.Nothing That You Are

Somebody told me, they saw you somewhere
Somebody hold me, cause suddenly I'm a little, cold
Well I must be mistaken, you for somebody else
I know you all to well, or do I?Chorus:
I heard you say
Well wrong again
We were one and the same
I could never do those things you did to me
I will be ok
In time you'll fade
Into the nothing that you are
The nothing you areVS2
Somebody sold me, yeah the same old story
Yea yeah, yea yeah
Hadn't you told me, you were there the whole time
Well I must be mistaken, you for somebody else
I hope you burn in hell, or do I?(chorus)VS.2
I heard you say
We were one and the same
Well wrong again
I could never do those things you did to me
I will be ok
In time you'll fade
Into the nothing that you are
The nothing you areVS2
I know your mistakes will hunt you down, eventually
You'll know that when you hit the ground
Your weakness did you in, and delt me out
I heard you say
We were one and the same
We'll wrong again
I could never do those things, you , did, to me
I will be ok
In time you'll fade
Into nothing that you are
The nothing you are
The nothing you are
The nothing you are
I heard you say


10.Latest Mistake

There is part of me that wants an answer
And part of me that doesn't want to know
Part of you that I am in love with
This is a delicate unraveling
Now and then I find pieces on the floor
Tiny little bits that tell me
Maybe I shouldn't do this
Someone's gonna have to step up
Someone's gonna have to clean this mess up

CHORUS
'Cause I wanted you the first time
And I loved you from the second
And I don't know how that ever goes away
As far as I can tell
You're really good at talking
I think it's time to let you know I'm just your latest mistake
I wonder what will make you happy
I wonder what will make you happy
I wonder what you'll do with it all
I have a map in my head
Somehow still don't understand
Why I always have to miss you
Someone's gonna have to step up
Before you drive me away
'Cause I wanted you the first time
And I loved you from the second
And I don't know how that ever goes away
As far as I can tell
You're really good at talking
I wonder what will make you happy
I wonder what will make you happy
Take a good look at me, baby
Picture me not lying on your couch
Well, I wish the best for you
Everytime you go thru this
Before you finally figure it out

'Cause I wanted you the first time
And I loved you from the second
And I don't know how that ever goes away
As far as I can tell
You're really good at talking
I wonder what will make you happy
I wonder what will make you happy
This is a delicate unraveling
I wonder what will make you happy
Someone's gonna have to fess up
I wonder what will make you happy
Before you drive me away
Someone's gonna have to step up


11.Ladies Choice

You did everything
I asked you not to
Look where it got you
I'm sure
You heard it before
How could you?
Baby, why would you?CHORUS
Goodbye, sweetheart
Countdown started
Words are heavy
But I'm far from broken hearted
Goodbye stranger
I'll take the fall
Lies were tempting
You know you never really threw me off at all
Go ahead
Waste your time
Count me out
Take your place at the end of the line
Raise a glass
No surprise
Here's to us at the end of the line (oh)
Here's to us at the end of the line
I'll miss the version of you
Who loved me
And all that they don't see
You said you could be good
Somehow you're guilty
And you're not even sorry
Goodbye, sweetheart
Countdown started
Words are heavy
But I'm far from broken hearted
Goodbye stranger
I'll take the fall
Lies were tempting
You know you never really threw me off at all
Go ahead
Waste your time
Count me out
Take your place at the end of the line
Raise a glass
No surprise
Here's to us at the end of the line (oh)
Here's to us at the end of the line
Go ahead
Waste your time
Count me out
Take your place at the end of the line
Raise a glass
No surprise
Here's to us at the end of the line (oh)
Here's to us at the end of the line


12.Gardenia

Well, I put so much thought into getting ready
Now I know that was the best part
It's so easy to get caught up in what I'm regretting
Forget what I got from a wounded heartCHORUS
I'm the one who likes Gardenia
I'm the one who likes to make love on the floor
I don't want to hang up the phone yet
It's been good
Getting to know me more
I've been seeing all my old friends in the city
Walking alone in Central Park
Doing all the things that I've neglected
Traded 'em all in
To be in your arms
I'm the one who likes Gardenia
I'm the one who likes to make love on the floor
I don't want to hang up the phone yet
It's been good
Getting to know me more
Sounds so silly
Keep on telling my story all around
Everything I lost seems so different
I'm the one who likes Gardenia
I'm the one who likes to make love on the floor
I don't want to hang up the phone yet
It's been good
Getting to know me more

Well, I hear my own voice
