What Were You Hoping for? - Van Hunt

It’s the end of white flight

Can’t afford to keep moving north, money tight

And you’re begging door to door, end of white flight

Can’t afford to live around the people you like, money tight

And you’re hating your life

But maybe that’s the mechanism to bring me closer to you

Tell me what were you hoping for

Maybe that’s the algorithm to bring me closer to you

Tell me what were you hoping for

It’s the end of white flight

Even tycoons are licking their wounds, economic blight

Got the neighborhood looking gap-toothed, end of white flight

Maybe now you see something you like, listen, baby, I’m your type

And you’re hating your life

But maybe that’s the mechanism to bring me closer to you

Tell me what were you hoping for

Maybe that’s the algorithm to bring me closer to you

Tell me what were you hoping for
