Optimist Songtext
von Nico Santos

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 day 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 is 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

But I don't wanna live like this
Today I'll be an optimist
