lyrics

Optimist Adjacent

Cleaning my old room
I found a letter addressed to you
But I never sent it
‘Cause deep down I never meant a single word
It seems we’d only get along
If I would sing your every song
But I have a voice too
It’s not as good but it should mean something to you

A quarter century
Is how long it has taken me
To realize bliss won’t come my way
You gotta find it every day
It doesn’t mean that I’m complacent
More like optimist adjacent
Funny how it helps to know who you are
Funny how it works to know what makes you happy

We don’t see
How we used to see everything the same
Let me be
I think it’s time for us to go our separate ways

Are you willing to ride your bike to work when it’s snowing?
Are you fed up with where you are?
Are you afraid of where you’re going?

I am.
