When your hope is lost
(Ohh)
When your hope is fading

What would you do if you had
Just one little pill in your hand
That changed around all you could be?
All that helped you forget what you've seen
Oh, if all you ever wanted, was to let go, yea
(There are so many things that we just don't know about)

When your hope is lost
(And you can't take it)
(Take it)
Now you've come too far, to let them break it
(Break it)

You think it would be alright
To live someone else's life
Oh, trust what you already have
'Cause once you fall in, you can't turn back
If all you ever wanted, was to let go, yea
(I think we all know what it's like to feel alone)

When your hope is lost and you can't take it
(Take it)
Now you've come too far, to let them break it
(Break it)

You've gotta throw those thoughts away
Before you make a big mistake
You've lost control, been thrown off track
But now it's time, to take it back, take it back
You have to want to
You have to want to

(There are so many things)
When your hope is lost and you can't take it
(Take it)
Now you've come too far, to let them break it

When your hope is lost
(When your hope is lost)
When your hope is fading
(When your hope is fading)
When your hope is lost
(When your hope is lost)
Yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea

When your hope is lost
(When your hope is lost)
When your hope is fading
(When your hope is fading)
When your hope is lost
(When your hope is lost)
Yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea
When your hope is lost
When your hope is fading

    General Comment:i've always seen the pill as metaphorical and it being about commiting suicide.

    is there one pill that could kill you i wonder?

    anyway, yeah it's about holding on and not giving up - REM everybody hurts style.

    i love this song. so beautiful. aaron's voice in it is a tad scary though. i remember the first time i was listening to that song. i was freaked!

    General Comment:I think that this song is about a person who is thinking of taking a drug to escape their problems and get high...tho it could also be talking about a person taking a pill to take their life, the chorus is telling the person that they can't give up and must keep going because they have accomplished too much to lose it all by their own hand.
