there's quite a few dips along this road
we've seen our fair share of highs and far too many lows
but there's a hopeful perspective that you helped me get to know
it's okay if a healed scar still shows
baby we're optimists
baby we're optimists
baby we're optimists
remember? remember?
we're all in the gutter, but some are looking up at the stars
we're cut from the same cloth, we decorate our sleeves with our hearts
you're searching through your phone for a song to take our minds
far away from the present day, into a better time
baby we're optimists
baby we're optimists
baby we're optimists
remember? remember?
baby we're optimists
baby we're optimists
baby we're optimists
remember? remember?

Because She Loves You

you gotta take the good with the frustrating
that's the only way it can be
to bask in her exuberance, you gotta love her distractibility
you said you wouldn't change a thing
and that's true
it's still true
it was always true
it'll always be true
just let it be, just let it be
just let it be, just let it be
just let it be, just let it be
just let it be, just let it be
because she loves you
because she loves you
our bowl is a good bowl
and if ever it cracks, and it will
we'll repair it with gold
we'll repair it with gold
a singer ain't gonna hit every high note
i can tell you all about that one
i've got a lot of experience not hitting high notes
just let it be, just let it be
just let it be, just let it be
just let it be, just let it be
just let it be, just let it be
because she loves you
because she loves you

Dreams in Grayscale

2AM and i'm wondering what john coltrane is up to in heaven
did he start a new band with churchill?
do the drinks have unlimited refills?
these are important questions
it's overwhelming when i talk about the future
that's more than fair i know
you told me not to speed so fast as i drove myself home
so i drove slow and i thought about the future all alone
my dreams in grayscale
dreams in grayscale
dreams in grayscale
my dreams in grayscale
cotton candy ain't as good as it used to be
cotton candy is just too sweet
i'm gonna do whatever the hell i want
whether it works out or whether it's all for naught
my dreams in grayscale
dreams in grayscale
dreams in grayscale
my dreams in grayscale

Unfinished Song #34

this song isn't finished
won't you tell me a story and maybe it'll spark something inside
this song isn't finished
not too sure of the direction i wanna go this time
lately i've been up and down, all around indecisive
and now it's affecting my songwriting
but i'm still here cause i don't have time to wait around for inspiration to find me
this song isn't finished
won't you tell me a story and maybe it'll spark something inside
this song isn't finished
not too sure of the direction i wanna go this time

Jungian Protégés

she had a dream her teeth fell out
not all of them, just the molars in the back
"kind of concerning," she said,
"how vivid it was. it felt so real and i don't know why"
ask siri what the hell it could mean and she'll tell you what some Jungian protégés think
you were skeptical of the interpretation
and i was glad for that
apparently it's not that uncommon of a dream
apparently it's not that uncommon of a dream
must admit it's kinda strange,
how people think the same sort of things
apparently it's not that uncommon of a dream
i wanna live with you in a one story house
in a part of the city that we both like
be able to go out to eat sometimes
save money to travel
not have to break our backs until the day we die
these are all very simple things
i want a world in which i wouldn't feel like a monster for bringing into it a new child one day
apparently it's not that uncommon of a dream
apparently it's not that uncommon of a dream
must admit it's kinda strange,
how people think the same sort of things
apparently it's not that uncommon of a dream
