| I’m ambitious and I’m optimistic
|
| But I’m not pretty and I’m not realistic
|
| I didn’t really give myself time to think today
|
| But the more that I want you, the more that I’ll say
|
| I hide but I’m lurking
|
| I ride but I’m searching
|
| Though my voice doesn’t reach you
|
| Just know that it’s working
|
| Cause all that I ask from you
|
| To know I won’t speak 'til I’m spoken to
|
| Your eyes don’t show
|
| So the silence grows
|
| All I need’s a sound
|
| Sing it loud
|
| So I won’t forget it now you know
|
| I know, I know I’m optimistic
|
| Like a boy that is acting, a boy that is hurt
|
| Like a muscle retracting and dragged through the dirt
|
| Like I know I need more but I’m scared I’ll feel worse
|
| Well I guess it couldn’t hurt
|
| Cause now that I have money I am more afraid
|
| And I wouldn’t say I’m lonely but I miss your gaze
|
| And I hope that you would hold me when I’m out of the race
|
| You could move out here later in a future age
|
| But I know I’m optimistic
|
| I know I’m optimistic
|
| Your eyes don’t show
|
| So the silence grows
|
| All I need’s a sound
|
| Sing it loud
|
| So I won’t forget it now you know
|
| I know
|
| I know I’m optimistic
|
| I know I’m optimistic
|
| But I rest my hand just above my heart
|
| Praying for love to come wake up
|
| I rest my hand just above my heart
|
| Praying for love to come wake up
|
| I rest my hand just above my heart
|
| Praying for love to come wake up
|
| I rest my hand just above my heart
|
| Praying for love to come wake up
|
| Your eyes don’t show
|
| So the silence grows
|
| All I need’s a sound
|
| Sing it loud
|
| So I won’t forget it now you know
|
| I know
|
| I know I’m optimistic |
