Optimist Lyrics – Anthony Russo

Optimist Lyrics by Anthony Russo

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…

Optimist Lyrics English

Oh, so I’m told

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

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 heard but I stayed silent
We drank and got high in suburbia fields
Quick pop a blue

Take it in before everything changes
You and me we’re both from different places
Hurts to know the same place
