Lyrics:
What's a place like this doing to a kid like me?
What's a face like this doing hanging off my cheeks?
I don't like the patterns emerging on my shirts and in my head.
Oh Lord, get rid of these days, my daily dread.
I will not stop trying
I will not cease smiling
I won't stop vying to turn out right
And I'll just keep laughing
Just keep drafting the perfect final line
It's not naivety, hope looks good on me.
Ever The Optimist, I will not let this world bring me down.
Bring me down.
I could pack my bags and skip town, but I can't pay the fare.
Plus there's no point running in the direction of something that's not there.
You can cut out all you want, but soon you'll hit a vein.
You'll still be asked to dig a little deeper again and again and again.
I will not stop fighting
Catch me reciting
The only way out is going through.
No, I won't come quietly
Now watch politely as I pretend I know what to do
It's not naivety, hope looks good on me.
Ever The Optimist, I will not let this world bring me down.
Bring me down.
And I am not one piece of flotsam sinking in the sea
And I am not so stupid to think my suffering's unique
Am I so forward thinking to say the drop should not be steep?
It's not naivety, hope looks good on me.
Ever The Optimist, I will not let this world bring me down.
Bring me down
Bring me down
Bring me down
Bring me down
Bring me down
Bring me down
