You Were An Optimist 가사

When the dust settled everything was in doubt You didn't know where to turn You were still off balance Your mind wanders back in time A thousand drinks ago And you're an optimist It's a bit hazy now So many plot twists So you try and try to forget But the circuits have been etched The connections are fresh The contacts mesh Each night Raked over the coals She called from a payphone The voice on the tape didn't match his face A sympathetic ear So many plot twists So you try and try to forget But the circuits have been etched The connections are fresh The contacts mesh And you're an optimist You were an optimist
