Emmett Mulrooney - The Optimist Lyrics

Woke up and the sun's in my face feel the warm glow
I like to say that I ain't got no complaints but I don't know
And I been livin' for the minute just taking the time slow
But I can't see, need the shade down but I can't get myself up

Woke up and the sun's in my face feel the warm glow
I like to say that I ain't got no complaints but I don't know
And I been livin' for the minute just taking the time slow
But I can't see, need the shade down but I can't get myself up

Optimistic, how I'm thinkin' though I'm wishin'
That I wasn't so caught up in it feel like I'm drownin' when I'm swimmin'
I been lower than low on my best day
But she rub my back and make it all okay

I been having nightmare dreams it ain't no fantasy
I been thinking 'bout heaven and hell there ain't no land to see
Wonder what it's like to wake up and just not see the sun
Prayin' that I never see that day but waiting for that day to come

Woke up and the sun's in my face feel the warm glow
I like to say that I ain't got no complaints but I don't know
And I been livin' for the minute just taking the time slow
But I can't see, need the shade down but I can't get myself up

Spendin' time by my lonesome got me going insane
I been losin' myself and I haven't spoke to you in days
Thoughts bouncin' around I can't hear the sound of my own name
They're callin' but I am paralyzed from my toes to my brain

I can't get up I'm fallin' over and over again
I'm mad in love but I always fear for the end
And I've sinned one too many times I'm feelin' like I'm pinned
Down to the ground I'm not coming back this is where I live yeah

Woke up and the sun's in my face feel the warm glow
I like to say that I ain't got no complaints but I don't know
And I been livin' for the minute just taking the time slow
But I can't see, need the shade down but I can't get myself up

Woke up and the sun's in my face feel the warm glow
I like to say that I ain't got no complaints but I don't know
And I been livin' for the minute just taking the time slow
But I can't see, need the shade down but I can't get myself up

Woke up and the sun's in my face feel the warm glow
I like to say that I ain't got no complaints but I don't know
And I been livin' for the minute just taking the time slow
But I can't see, need the shade down but I can't get myself up
