[Verse 1]
Dear hope, you've been good to me
I know you've led me, lost at sea
But you always kept my cheeks dry
Patience, you've eluded me
Right when I thought I'd need you most
But I don't need you anymore
What good would you be now?
I've already found my ocean legs

[Chorus]
Dear, dear me, has it always been?
Dear, dear me

[Verse 2]
Sweet hope, you've been sweet to me
Although I've always secretly
Wanted to meet your cousin faith
Patience, you've been patient
What would it take for you to show?
But I don't want you anymore
What good would you be now?
I've already found my ocean legs

[Chorus]
Dear, dear me, has it always been?
Dear, dear me
[Bridge]
What good would you be now?
I've already found my ocean legs

[Chorus]
Dear, dear me, has it always been?
Dear, dear me
