Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I hope you're spending Christmas with your family

I hope you're writing songs that you love

I hope you're feeling happier than you've ever been

And I hope I never leave me again

I hope you're hiking that old trail in West Meade

And I hope you and Jane are talking more

I hope the top is off the Jeep, and you're driving in the wind

And I hope I never leave me again

For a while the shoe fit

But then I outgrew it

And staying only made me get real good at pretend

So, I hope I never leave me again

I hope to remember all the pieces

Of who I was that I lost on the way

I hope I learn to love myself like I loved you then

And I hope I never leave me again

For a while the shoe fit, yeah

But then I outgrew it

And staying only made me get real good at pretend

So, I hope I never leave me again, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

I hope when I see you that you smile

I hope that you find somebody new

I hope that you get the house and the good wife and the kids

And I hope I never leave me again

Yeah, I hope I never leave me again
