I'm Not a Pessimist, I'm an Optometrist

I think I'm trying too hard
I have all these big expectations
Travelled too far
And now the train leaves the station
Mind won't turn off
It's taking hours to sleep
I've waited too long
Dragged down to depths way to deep

Give me something to look forward
Maybe something I need more of
Clock is ticking, unimportant
Smash it on the floor

I think about it, it's time that I take a break
It's not an excuse, but maybe it's my escape
It's time to let loose, enjoy time and let it pass
A new point of view
Look through that rose-tinted glass

There was this really great thought
Things would all work out perfect
Stuck in this spot
But I can't stay this dejected
I'm nervous, a disservice, a basket-case left open
This fallout; I'll blackout
Old skeletons are broken

Give me something to look forward
Maybe something I need more of
Clock is ticking, unimportant
Smash it on the floor

I think about it, it's time that I take a break
It's not an excuse, but maybe it's my escape
It's time to let loose, enjoy time and let it pass
A new point of view
Look through that rose-tinted glass

Feeling great, never get let down
Wide awake, baby I'm homebound
Anywhere, anytime, lately
I'll be there, you better not tempt me
In the crowd, sing it loud
Fire it up we won't fall down
Now's the time, all is fine
Forever

I thought about it
Maybe this was all just fake
Those inhibitions that kept me lying awake
But now it's over
Let's hope that it stays this way until forever
I think about it, it's time that I take a break
It's not an excuse, but maybe it's my escape
It's time to let loose, enjoy time and let it pass
A new point of view
Look through that rose-tinted glass
