"The Grand Optimist" lyrics

From a windowsill
You wait there just until the rain
Stops pouring down

The grand optimists
Telling you these are tricks
Playing in your mind
And soon you'll leave them all behind

So they say, "It's a shame"
Things they come and go away
And I've been trying to change
But I always make mistakes
Yeah, I always fly away

In my dreams at night
I keep thinking I might be
Living in another time

High beam headlights on
Down the highway where we used to live
Long ago
Now I see you there
Looking like a ghost

So they say, "It's a shame"
Things they come and go away
And I've been trying to change
But I always make mistakes
Yeah, I always fly away
