Songtext von Optimist

Oh, so I'm told There's a price you pay for waiting around Inside this everyday town where nobody knows What it's like outside they never get out Outside of this everyday town Where she grew up by a farm on the west side She played with the boys never cared what she dressed like They all made jokes she was never impressed by Every night she stared out to an empty horizon Holding the pillow that she emptied her eyes in and no They don't understand what this feels like And I don't understand what it feels like Inside of the crowd with people who talk out the side of their mouth I saw but I stayed blinded I heard but I stayed silent We drank and got high in suburbia fields Quick pop a blue before somebody feels the emptiness Take it in before everything changes You and me we're both from different places Hurts to know the same place that I keep my innocence Swear you'd keep your secrets 'Cause they don't understand what it feels like To be here but not at home You don't feel like you belong I swear you're not alone (Ooh, nah-nah) 'Cause I can understand what that feels like
