"Year Of The Optimist" lyrics

"Year Of The Optimist"

Sleeping in on Saturday
Just to keep the world ten miles away
Another time, another place
Maybe I would try self-isolate

The coffee is colder
And time is slipping through
Slipping through

Put me on your pedestal
'Cause I'm the queen of self-control
I'll smile when life hits the wall
But inside I'm afraid
Even in the great abyss
It's the year of the optimist
I'm never gonna grow up, baby
I'm just gonna change

I can't prevent anything (Anything)
And that makes me want to have it all
Another high, another low
Another blow would make my world fall

In the outside
Hold steady
Internal turbulence
Turbulence

Put me on your pedestal
'Cause I'm the queen of self-control
I'll smile when life hits the wall
But inside, I'm afraid
Even in the great abyss
It's the year of the optimist
I'm never gonna grow up, baby
I'm just gonna change

Put me on your pedestal
'Cause I'm the queen of self-control
I'll smile when life hits the wall
But inside, I'm afraid
Even in the great abyss
It's the year of the optimist
I'm never gonna grow up, baby
I'm just gonna change

No, I'm never gonna grow up, baby
Never gonna grow up, baby
Never gonna grow up, baby
I'm just gonna change
