Lyrics

I’M HOPING YOU DO
by Karen Robinson ©2010

There is something I don’t understand going on
Something that’s got out of hand going on

My arms are empty. My hopes are too
While your virtual life seems to satisfy you

Every day you slip further away
While you play in your hideaway
With wizards or pharaohs or heroes with arrows, where fireworks fill the sky
Where winning the game is moments away
Where a lover won’t tell you “goodbye”

I was sure you knew what we have is rare
I keep telling you, you can still go there
Go play where you want to play, but don’t stay there, don’t stay

I can’t help but wonder, would it take very long?
How many games won ‘til you’d notice...I’m gone?

Sometimes you could slide away. You could play in that hideaway
With wizards or pharaohs or heroes with arrows, or whatever it is that you play
Where winning the game is moments away
Where a lover won’t tell you “goodbye”. Will you try?

Can you hear what I’m saying? Oh I’m hoping you do
‘Cause I can’t go on reaching so far to touch you. Will you try?
Can you hear what I’m saying? Oh I’m hoping you do
