"Optimistic" lyrics

I'm ambitious and I'm optimistic
But I'm not pretty and I'm not realistic
I didn't really give myself time to think today
But the more that I want you, the more that I'll say

I hide but I'm lurking
I ride but I'm searching
Though my voice doesn't reach you
Just know that it's working
Cause all that I ask from you
To know I won't speak 'til I'm spoken to

Your eyes don't show
So the silence grows
All I need's a sound
Sing it loud
So I won't forget it now you know
I know, I know I'm optimistic

Like a boy that is acting, a boy that is hurt
Like a muscle retracting and dragged through the dirt
Like I know I need more but I'm scared I'll feel worse
Well I guess it couldn't hurt

Cause now that I have money I am more afraid
And I wouldn't say I'm lonely but I miss your gaze
And I hope that you would hold me when I'm out of the race
You could move out here later in a future age
But I know I'm optimistic
I know I'm optimistic

Your eyes don't show
So the silence grows
All I need's a sound
Sing it loud
So I won't forget it now you know
I know
I know I'm optimistic
I know I'm optimistic

But I rest my hand just above my heart
Praying for love to come wake up
I rest my hand just above my heart
Praying for love to come wake up
I rest my hand just above my heart
Praying for love to come wake up
I rest my hand just above my heart
Praying for love to come wake up

Your eyes don't show
So the silence grows
All I need's a sound
Sing it loud
So I won't forget it now you know
I know
I know I'm optimistic
