Hope & Ruin

The Trews Hope & Ruin Lyrics
1.Misery Loves Company

Baby, I'm below rising above
My unrequited love
And it's all I've been thinking of

I play association games
Interpreting things that you say
I struggle to get through the day

Love me cause misery loves company
It's a mystery why I let you do these things to me oh

Some days I can't get out of bed
Because of something you said
These things they can be misread

I've been scaring myself with my thoughts
Thinking about you a lot
Thinking we're something we're not

When I get lonely, I mean I really get lonely I need you to
Love me cause misery loves company
It's a mystery why I let you do these things to me

Give me reason to live again
Give me reason to live again
Give me reason to live again
Give me reason to live again

When I get lonely, I mean I really get lonely
I mean I need somebody, I mean I only ever really needed you to
Love me cause misery loves company
Love me cause misery loves company
It's a mystery why I let you do these things to me
But I let you do these things to me
Cause I let you do these things to me


2.One By One

Driving for days through North Ontario
Can't find a station on the radio
I'm cold and lonely in the afterglow
An empty bar and uninspired show

I hate myself for being miserable
A six day binge is bound to do it though
I wish that I could be invisible
We're three weeks in and out of control
One by one every heart is a loaded gun
One by one every heart is a loaded gun

I've been shot down and I've been torn apart
Living out songs about a broken heart
Blinding ambition, stabbing in the dark
And waiting for a better life to start
One by one every heart is a loaded gun

If I fall apart, stumbling in the dark, going way too far
If I fall apart will it leave a scar on my loaded heart if I
fall apart

Driving for days through North Ontario
Can't find a station on the radio
I'm cold and lonely in the afterglow
An empty bar and uninspired show

With every turn we learn to take it slow
Redemption waiting further down the road
We change and everything is temporal
And time will tell us where we've got to go

One by one
One by one
One by one every heart is a loaded gun
One by one every heart is a loaded gun
One by one every heart is a loaded gun
One by one a heavy heart is a setting sun


3.People Of The Deer

People tell me that I gotta go
And then they say I gotta stay
I've gotta move on when the river flows
And they cannot make me wait
I'm only doing what I want to do
They don't see eye to eye with me
With no idea what I'm going through
Or who I really want to be
And it's cold outside all the time

People of the deer
Summer is here
You've done the grind of wintertime
Year after year

Keep me out of visibility
Out of sight out of mind
Expose a system of hostility
We never leave our past behind
I feel the spirit moving through me
Windy River open wide
Read the warning signs above me
The inter continent divide
Is cold outside all the time

People of the deer
Summer is here
You're done the grind of wintertime
And soup stone souvenirs
And it's cold outside all the time

Year after year

People of the deer
Summer is here
You've done the grind of wintertime
Year after year

And it's cold outside all the time
And it's cold outside all the time
It's cold outside all the time


4.Stay With Me

I would sleep for days
And spend my lonely nights laying awake
I've been lost a lot along the way
And found it hard to learn from my mistakes
Take me away from all of this
Take me away with just one kiss

Cause no one seems to understand and I can't explain

It's hard to start again
You're never far away from where you've been
But something in your eyes makes me begin
To understand you'll be there till the end
Take me away from memory
You give me everything I need

And no one seems to understand and I can't explain

Stay with me
I've got something to give
Something to live for
Someone to set me free

Stay with me

I won't make light of this
You must know that it's you I can't resist
You've given me a reason to exist
If there is any doubt I must insist
You take me away with something true
You take me away because of you

No one seems to understand and I can't explain

Stay with me
I've got something to give
Something to live for
Someone to set me free

Stay with me
I've got something to give
Something to live for
Someone to set me free

Stay with me
Stay with me please
All I know is you move me

And everything about you helps me deal with the pain
And no one seems to understand and I can't explain


5.Hope And Ruin

Hope and ruin
Living the dream
What we're doing
Is not what it seems

First to last
Best to worst
Ash to ash
Blessed to cursed

If you break down
I'll pull you through

Hope and ruin
Gone too soon
Hope and ruin
Me and you

The sun came up
And the world turned 'round
But I saw right through it
It will go back down

If I break down
Will you pull me through?

Hope and ruin
Gone too soon
Hope and ruin
Me and you
And it's heavy now
And it weighs me down
Hope and ruin
Gone too soon

Hope and ruin
You were the best
Now you're through and
You're on to the next

So you're leaving now
Have you done enough
Will they hold you to it
Will you rise above

Ah we'll get through

Hope and ruin
Gone too soon
Hope and ruin
Me and you
Hope and ruin
Gone too soon
Hope and ruin
Me and you
Hope and ruin
Gone too soon
Hope and ruin
Me and you


6.If You Wanna Start Again

If you wanna start again
You're gonna need to find the strength within
Know your real friends, let the right ones in
Forgive yourself to forget

If you wanna start again
Tired of the ghostly shapes you're seeing
The hard life you're living
The self destruction
You've gotta find a way to let love in

Lost in the night
Running afraid
Looking for life at the end of the day

If you wanna start again
You can talk to me in confidence
Everybody needs help when they're going through hell
And baby I can see you're not doing well

Losing the light
Feeling the fade
Praying to find your way back from the grave

Soon your heart will find everything you need
Soon your heart will find the space you need to breathe
Soon your heart will find where you've got to be
Soon your heart will find a way to set you free

Lost in the night
Running afraid
Looking for life at the end of the day

Losing the light
Feeling the fade
Praying to find your way back from the grave


7.The World I Know

Hey there, fancy meeting you here
Next time don't be a stranger
Life on the line in the long run
We all go under

Woe oh oh the world, I know
Woe oh oh it comes and goes
Woe oh oh it turns too slow
Woe oh oh the world, I know

It's done it might get better in the long run
You won't regret it when it's hard won
Just don't sweat it when the end comes
We all go under

Woe oh oh the world, I know
Woe oh oh it comes and goes
Woe oh oh it turns too slow
Woe oh oh the world, I know
The world, I know

Another day passing away
I hope to learn from my mistakes
Everyone must feel the same
Another day under the gun
Racing the clock, chasing the sun
I want to feel it everyone
Follow me it's time to run


8.Dreaming Man

I can fly
I can fall
In my heart
I have it all
You know me

I need some time
To sort my head
Find a light roads ahead

A dreaming man is what I've been since I don't remember when

Walls come down
I come in
Fortune fades
Faith begins

A dreaming man is what I've been since I don't remember when

A dreaming man is what I've been since I don't remember when

You should know I don't know
Why I never said so

Here she comes
Down again
Armed with woe
To share with him
I can hear
Walls are thin
Fortune fades
Faith begins

Here she comes
Down again
Armed with woe
To share with him
I can hear
Walls are thin
Fortune fades
Faith begins

A dreaming man is what I've been since I don't remember when

A dreaming man is what I've been since I don't remember when

Though I don't understand a dreaming man is all I am


9.I'll Find Someone Who Will

Give the people what they want
They're taken with your charm
Will your smile light up the room
And set off the alarm

That will bring us to our feet
Yeah we all know the drill
But you better break my heart real soon
Or I'll find someone who will

You can play your old guitar
You've broken every string
All your dreams are broken too
Death where is thy sting?

You wound me but do you have the nerve
To come in for the kill?
Break my heart, you'd better do it soon,
Or I'll find someone who will

If you don't break my heart real soon
I'll find someone who will
If you don't break my heart real soon
I'll find someone who will

If you don't break my heart real soon
I'll find someone who will
If you don't break my heart real soon
I'll find someone who will

Tear it apart
I wanna lose myself in your song
So you think that you're smart
But nobody's singing along

Tear it apart
I wanna lose myself in your song
So you think that you're smart
But nobody's singing along
So look me square in the eye
Hello's as good as goodbye

Waiting for your grand reply
You're never one to choke
C'mon baby light my fire
And I'll inhale the smoke

Your silence frankly deafens me
So much space to fill
If you don't break my heart real soon
If you don't break my heart real soon
If you don't break my heart real soon
I'll find someone who will

If you don't break my heart real soon
I'll find someone who will
If you don't break my heart real soon
I'll find someone who will
Tear it apart


10.Love Is The Real Thing

Love is it the real thing?
Give me the real thing love
Love is it the real thing?
Give me the real thing love

I've been trying to leave you alone
But I get so lonesome on my own
I keep checking my cell phone
For missed calls from your mother's home

I guess you could say that I'm desperate
Love is it the real thing?
Give me the real thing love
Love give me the real thing
The real thing love

I'm not crazy I'm alone
I wait for friends I used to know
You've got to be pretty cold
To lead me on and let me go
In love

Everything feels like it's out of control
I guess you could say that I'm out of it

Love is it the real thing
The real thing
The real thing love

If you don't love me let me know
Don't lead me down a dead end road
You're raking me over the coals
I guess that I'm a fool in

Love is it the real thing?
The real thing love
Love give me the real thing
The real thing love
Love give me the real thing
The real thing
The real thing love
Love is it the real thing
The real thing
The real thing
The real thing love
I guess you could say that I'm desperate enough


11.Burned

We live our lives online
Waiting for the perfect time
What if the day never comes
And we're no better than done

We live our lives on the run
Sometimes have to jump the gun
The road to you is paved in
Somebody's intentions

If we keep going like this somebody's gonna get burned
And the last to know will be the first to fall
And they won't see it coming at all

A million dreams on the street
No one admitting defeat
Be careful what you wish for
You may end up wanting more

If we keep going like this somebody's gonna get burned
And the last to know will be the first to fall
And they won't see it coming at all

Raking me over the coals
Tearing me down for a laugh
You've gotta be pretty cold to do something like that,
Something like that, something like that

If we keep going like this somebody's gonna get burned
And the last to know will be the first to fall
And they won't see it coming at all

And it ain't gonna be pretty
I wouldn't want to be around
You can lose yourself in the city
If you forget about your hometown

Raking me over the coals
Tearing me down for a laugh
You've gotta be pretty cold to do something like that

Taking me for a ride
Making me hitch a ride back
You've gotta be pretty cold to do something like that,
Something like that, something like that


12.You Gotta Let Me In

Under darker skies
Weathered, weary eyes
I won't let the rain get in
But you've gotta let me in

After these hard miles
I'll make it all worthwhile
It brought me here so let's begin
But you've gotta let me in

And maybe we'll make things alright
For the rest of this bittersweet life
We come, we go
Find love on the lonely road

If I knew your outs and ins
And all your doubts and sins
I could help you live with them
But you've gotta let me in

I'm as lost as you
But I know this much is true
I could be your everything
But you've gotta let me in

And maybe we'll make things alright
For the rest of this bittersweet life

We come, we go
Find love on the lonely road
We come, we go
Find love on the lonely road

And maybe we'll make things alright
For the rest of this bittersweet life

We come, we go
Find love on the lonely road
We come, we go
Find love on the lonely road
Find love on the lonely road
Find love on the lonely road
The lonely road
The lonely road
