Lips, salty dry, taste desperation
Ay, tell me what, leave the stovetop on
Burnt fingertips of the undecided

Even when a
Don't fade, Mr. Optimist Blues
We'll hate
Mr. Optimist Blues
Yeah, Mr. Optimist, Mr. Optimist Blues

Piece in my heart, king-size jigsaw puzzle
Can't make sense, never good at
Red, red, soulless blue, couldn't sleep last night
Shut off the brain train, rainy shipwrecks

Even when a
Don't fade, Mr. Optimist Blues
We'll hate
Mr. Optimist Blues
Yeah, Mr. Optimist, Mr. Optimist Blues

Sometimes it shakes, sometimes it falls
I keep giving in my hope
Don't label us, no, won't be gone, drifters

Even when a
Don't fade, Mr. Optimist Blues
We'll hate
Mr. Optimist Blues
Yeah, Mr. Optimist, Mr. Optimist Blues

It don't matter to me too much
Maybe arms can't touch
Yeah, Mr. Optimist Blues
Sometimes it shakes, sometimes it falls
Mr. Optimist, Mr. Optimist Blues
Mr. Optimist, Mr. Optimist Blues
