Optimistic

Shouldn't it always be so simple

Like how it's always been so simple

All of our photographs blur

We're running too fast



Shouldn't it always be this simple

We've got the ocean, time's just a ripple

Under the screen we laugh, we blur

We're swimming too fast



But ooh, i am an optimist

I am an optimist

But I'm not prepared for this here-

What if I have to go

What if that's how we know

The best things don't last forever here



Why can't it always be this simple

I cry so you hold me for a little

We hide in your room with the curtains closed

To the end of the world



But ooh, i am an optimist

I am an optimist

But I'm not prepared for this here-

What if I have to go

What if that's how we know

The best things don't last forever here
