The Perpetual Optimist Songtext
von Luke Lalonde

I wake up and feel alone
Party full of people and I′m all alone
You never felt that way before
Out of bed running when your feet hit the floor
I think the flavour of life is dull
Just one bite and I feel full
You got an insatiable appetite
Always got room for one more bite


I hear a train coming down the tracks
Plug my ears and turn my back
You hoot along on your vocal chords
Run alongside and climb aboard
I see it goin' one-way bound
Got no choice but the next stinkin′ town
You are the perpetual optimist
Get no reward if you take no risk

And I'm pouring out
Like a big, dark, stormy cloud
But you're my raincoat
Shielding me from doubt
And self harm

Well I′m pouring out
Like a big, dark, stormy cloud
But you′re my raincoat
Shielding me from doubt
And self harm
