I feel drawn to revolving doors
It makes it easy to get back to where I was before
I'm an optimist when I forget to be a realist at times like these
With a little time we'll find out why...
What we already knew
Show me the brighter side
The one where we both make it out alright
I feel like it'll all work out this time
If we lean towards the brighter side
I bought us two round trip tickets to nowhere
So if it's lonely it's easy enough to get back here
I'm a pessimist when I forget to be an optimist at times like these
It takes time but we'll find out why we never worked out before
Show me the brighter side
The one where we both make it out alright
I feel like it'll all work out this time
If we lean towards the brighter side
Somewhere there is somebody waiting to break my heart again
And it's been so long I feel like I'm ready to let them
And who knows maybe I'll surprise myself
And who knows maybe you'll be surprised by me
I'm a realist when I forget to be anything else
So let's invent a new lie we can build upon for ourselves
And then show me the brighter side...
