Optimism Lyrics by Vanessa Whyte

Poems

2020

[Chorus]
One door closes, another opens
So I stay hoping, 3 2 1
1 2 3, it's plain to see
That bad things come in 3
So leave the porch light on okay

[Verse 1]
3:30 sealed my fate
Don't know if it's early or late
Should I text you or wait?
Either way kinda strange

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I thought you were the sun till it got dark
Melted my wings and now here comes the hard part
I'm lonely enough on my own I don't need you adding to it

[Chorus]
One door closes, another opens
So I stay hoping, 3 2 1
1 2 3, it's plain to see
That bad things come in 3
So leave the porch light on okay

[Verse 2]
Your headlights in the dark
Can't shine as bright as the stars
Who did I think we are?
An empty tank won't get you far and

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You talk 'bout yourself like you're all that
And frankly I don't need all of that
I'm lonely enough on my own I don't need you adding to it

[Chorus]
One door closes, another opens
So I stay hoping, 3 2 1
1 2 3, it's plain to see
That bad things come in 3
So leave the porch light on okay

[Bridge]
I leave my window open
I keep my options open
The bonfire you lit is smoking
And 3 sets of lungs are choking
Extrovert in the moment
Maybe the message is loading
I hope you know that I'm joking
My optimism is showing

[Chorus]
One door closes, another opens
So I stay hoping, 3 2 1
1 2 3, it's plain to see
That bad things come in 3
So leave the porch light on

[Outro]
Extrovert in the moment
Maybe the message is loading
I hope you know that I'm joking
My optimism is showing
