I hope you don't mind
That I've talked to (with) people you don't necessarily like
In the daytime (nighttime)
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't care
About the smoke lining up (down) through the air
I know it's stupid
But I kinda like (love) it
I hope you don't care
I've been making my way around the city (suburbs)
And what I've found is nothing more than pathetic bliss
Maybe (I don't think) we will all grow up in due time
But what I've found is nothing more than an angel kiss
I hope you don't mind
I've been complacent, I've been blind
I haven't been around too much (a lot)
But I hope you can find...
A hope in my eye
Something to guide you while you fly
It may take a while (I know it's a long shot), but i'll help you find it
That hope in my eye
I've been making my way around my mind
And what I've found is nothing more than avoidance
Maybe (I hope that) one day I will stop my filthy habits
But until then (and when it comes) I will keep on (take off) all my masks
