The Optimist Lyrics by Evie Irie

5 Weeks in LA

2019

[Intro]
Haha
Du-na-na-na, ah-na-na-na-na, ah, da
Du-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, da, da
Du-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na, na

[Verse 1]
Lately, it's been a little bit wild
I wake up wearing this disgusting smile
It’s like I hear a parade outside my window
Every day down my street when it used to be a shit show
Du-na-na-na, ah-na-na-na-na, ah, da
Du-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

[Pre-Chorus]
Where all the dark clouds go?
Silver linings of pure gold
Overnight this angel found her halo

[Chorus]
I don't really feel bad news anymore
Walking through walls like an open door, woah
I'm shutting down the negativity
I’ll find the optimist in me, ooh

[Post-Chorus]
And so good ain't so bad
I'm giving in to love, I'm sick of being sad
Ooh, ooh, I could be happy
I could be happy all the time
Du-na-na-na, ah-na-na-na-na, ah, da
Du-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

[Verse 2]
I wanna drive down main with a megaphone
Shouting, "Love's gonna save the day" of the top of my lungs

[Pre-Chorus]
Where all the dark clouds go?
Silver linings of pure gold
Overnight this angel found her halo

[Chorus]
I don't really feel bad news anymore
Walking through walls like an open door, woah
I'm shutting down the negativity
I'll find the optimist in me, ooh

[Post-Chorus]
And so good ain’t so bad
I’m giving in to love, I'm sick of being sad
Ooh, ooh, I could be happy
I could be happy all the time

[Bridge]
Where all the dark clouds go?
Silver linings of pure gold
Overnight this angel found her halo

[Chorus]
I don’t really feel bad news anymore
Walking through walls like an open door, woah
I'm shutting down the negativity
I'll find the optimist in me, ooh

[Outro]
And so good ain't so bad
I’m giving in to love, I'm sick of being sad
Ooh, ooh, I could be happy
I could be happy all the time
