《The Optimist》歌词

时长： 04:57

Given the light, Give it some truth[00:00:06]

Given the maybe, Give it some proof[00:00:26]

This body is cleaner, I'm one to behold[00:00:30]

My truth was uncovered, Untainted and told[00:00:35]

I loathed the people I considered old[00:00:40]

Oh, the optimist[00:00:45]

Teach me to follow, Teach me to lead[00:00:55]

Teach me to stand up, And how to succeed[00:01:00]

As long as I'm upright, I'll try to prolong[00:01:04]

The notion that future events must go on[00:01:09]

No matter the turn out is right or is wrong[00:01:14]

They trusted you[00:01:23]

And all the things you often made them do, and now[00:01:27]

Everyone smilin'[00:01:34]

Telling me I've got to trust you to[00:01:38]

Do no wrong[00:01:42]

'Cause if you do, You just won't live as long, and now[00:01:48]

Everyone's cryin'[00:01:53]

Someone's telling them to just stop trying[00:01:58]

Given some truth, Call it a lie[00:02:06]

Given some action, Ask yourself why[00:02:10]

This body is slow, And it's seen its best days[00:02:15]

My truth is uncovered, My negative ways[00:02:20]

I'm one of the people I struggle to praise[00:02:25]

Oh, the pessimist[00:02:34]

Teach me to follow, But never to lead[00:02:40]

Teach me to stay down, And never succeed[00:02:45]

When everyone's watching, It's hard to admit[00:02:49]

The movement of shadows, That lead me to quit[00:02:54]

I grapple with time, But I can't make it fit[00:02:59]

They trusted you[00:03:07]

With all the things you often made them do, and now[00:03:12]

Everyone smillin'[00:03:19]

Telling me I've got to trust you to[00:03:23]

Do no wrong[00:03:28]

'Cause if you do, You just won't live as long, and now[00:03:32]

Everyone's smilin'[00:03:38]

Someone's telling them to just stop trying[00:03:43]
