Mr. Optimist Blues - Jonathan Roy

Going down, lines are broken

Lips salty dry

Taste desperation

Ay, ay, tell me why

You leave the stovetop on

Burnt fingertips

Of the undecided

Even when our ragged shoes don’t fit

Mr Optimist blues

We all hate

Mr Optimist blues

Mr Optimist, Mr Optimist blues

Piece in my heart

King size jigsaw puzzle

Can’t make no sense

Never good at at logic baby

Slowly bloom, couldn’t sleep last night

Shut off the brain train

Rainy shipwrecks

Even when our ragged shoes don’t fit

Mr Optimist blues

We all hate

Mr Optimist blues

Mr Optimist, Mr Optimist blues

It don’t matter to me too much

Miracle, can’t search

Any heart I’ve dreamed of

Sometimes they shake

Sometimes they fall

I keep giving it my all

Don’t label us through what we goin'

Drift us

Even when our ragged shoes don’t fit

Mr Optimist blues

We all hate

Mr Optimist blues

Mr Optimist, Mr Optimist blues

It don’t matter to me too much

Miracle, can’t search

Mr Optimist blues

Sometimes they shake

Sometimes they fall

Mr Optimist, Mr Optimist blues

Mr Optimist, Mr Optimist blues
