Optimist

Original

I saw the waters rising. I saw some people go.

I tried to fight the currents, but I can't control the way the rivers flow.

So why not let it go?

The weatherman keeps talking. I see the sun, but I miss the snow.

Feel like a dead man walking, 'cause when I'm in the snow I miss the coast.

When will I let it go?

I'll always find a hundred reasons to be mad.

A thousand reasons to be sad. All the chances that I've missed.

I could spend my day out in the dark. Let the sadness break my heart.

See the world for what it is.

But I don't wanna live like this.

Today I'll be an optimist.

I still believe in open windows. Each day's a brand new start.

Sometimes the truth is simple.

Good things don't always fall apart.

And dreaming big, it ain't that hard.

I'll always find a hundred reasons to be mad.

A thousand reasons to be sad. All the chances that I've missed.

I could spend my days out in the dark. Let the sadness break my heart.

See the world for what it is.

But I don't wanna live like this. Today I'll be an optimist.

But I don't wanna live like this.

Today I'll be an optimist.
