New Perspective

I wish I could see the world like you do
With a slightly more optimistic
Focused point of view
Can I undo
These old objectives
With a new perspective?

Tracing over these words I wrote two albums ago
Have I always been such a miserable asshole?
No wonder why I'm still alone
But I think I've grown
Hey everybody
Take a look at me!
I'm "so introspective"
And "so fucking deep"
(So fucking deep)
Can someone please give me
The attention that I need?

Say what you'll say
And see what you'll see
No one I know
Can be harder on me than me
So just let me be

I wish I could see the world like you do
With a slightly more optimistic
Focused point of view
Can I undo
These old objectives
With a new perspective?

I'm more self-conscious
Than I'd like to admit
And God forbid, you call me on my bullshit
I'm such a hypocrite
And this anxiety
Won't let me forget

Will the words that I say
Still resonate?
Or will I fade away
And just be another cliche?
Another cliche

I wish I could see the world like you do
With a slightly more optimistic
Focused point of view
Can I undo
These old objectives
With a new perspective?
I wish I could see the world like you do
With a slightly more optimistic
Focused point of view
Can I undo
These old objectives
With a new perspective?

Yeah!

Pick it up
Pick it up

Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?

Is this my second chance
To fall in love again?
Don't believe a word you hear about me
Maybe I will feel serenity
If she stays there just a little bit longer
Everybody's happy
Hey there baby, do you miss me?
Let's take a moment and figure ourselves out
Close won't keep you close to me at all
She's a good lay but she lies much better
With those eyes she's so hard to get over
Please don't let her
Lose my number
Don't ever call it
Cause nothing happened if I don't recall it
Starlit sky can't shine as bright
I can find my clarity

Tracing over these words I wrote
So long ago
I'm sorry
Forgive me
The biggest mistake of all
Was when I mixed me with alcohol
