Well I've been around, yeah I've done a little livin' Seen my fair share of heros and villains I've been burned and I learned to take the bad with the good I've bounced at the bottom and I've fallen from the top I've sifted the rubble when the bubble got popped and I've Stood in a hall where all of the legends have stood It left me with high hopes and low expecations A little of both to keep my sanity They've seen me through some messed up situations High hope, low expectations It's a first-timer mountain climber checkin' their belay It's a poker player with a 401K it's a Tricked out stretch limo with four-wheel drive It's hope for the best and it's plan for the worst Believe you'll be blest but prepare to be cursed 'cause Livin' large means first you gotta stay alive It's gonna take high hopes and low expecations A little of both to keep your sanity They'll see you through some messed up situations High hopes, low expectations Wings to fly and faith to see the bigger plan An extra parachute and a sturdy pair of hiking boots Just in case you ever do crash land Now that's what I call high hopes and low expecations A little of both to keep your sanity They'll see you through life's jacked up situations High hopes and low expectations Talkin' 'bout high hopes Low expectations
