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
