Optimist

I saw the waters rising
I saw some people go
I tried to fight the currents but
I can't control the way the rivers flow
So why not let it go
The weatherman keeps talking
I see the sun but I miss the snow
Feel like a dead man walking
'Cause when I'm in the snow I miss the coast
When will I let it go
I'll always find
A hundred reasons to be mad
A thousand reasons to be sad
All the chances that I've missed
I could spend my days out in the dark
And let the sadness break my heart
See the world for what it is
But I don't wanna live like this
Today I'll be an optimist
Still believe in open windows
Each day's a brand-new start
Sometimes the truth is simple
Good things don't always fall apart
And dreaming big it ain't that hard
I'll always find
A hundred reasons to be mad
A thousand reasons to be sad
All the chances that I've missed
I could spend my days out in the dark
And let the sadness break my heart
See the world for what it is
But I don't wanna live like this
Today I'll be an optimist
Ohohoooo
But I don't wanna live like this
Today I'll be an optimist
