Jamie the Optimist - Hangin' On Lyrics

My mind's cluttered
Just like my room
And I wonder
If I'm ever gonna know what to do
I don't wanna change
But I don't wanna stay the same
Now I'm just sitting here
Writing the same refrains
And i'm hanging on to the side of the ship as it slowly sinks down to the blue
And things are about to shift and dreams are about to come true
But am I ready yet?
I'm still making it
I'm still trying to figure it out
But I know my day will come
Then I'll show everyone
That there was never a reason to doubt
Sometimes I feel
Like all the good songs have been written
How can I turn a phrase
In a way that feels different
So I sit in my room
And I stare at the wall
I pray that one day this blockage will fall
But I know that I'm different and I have perspective
And sharing your story is the whole objective
I've put in my time
Gave all my effort
Now I'm poor and defeated
And I don't get my credit
They blame it on the algorithm
It's hit or miss and its
Always shifting
My friends are successful
And that's fine and all
But I'm waiting for my name to be called
I'm tired and jaded and had enough of this now
'cause this is my time
Now it's time for my bow
But I'm hanging on to the side of the ship as it slowly sinks down to the blue
And things are about to shift and dreams are about to come true
But am I ready yet?
I'm still making it
I'm still trying to figure it out
But I know my time will come
Then I'll show everyone
That there was never a reason to doubt
