Optimist Lyrics by Wanderwild

Fleeting

2016

[Verse 1]
How can I know
If you’re the one for me
How do I know which way your eyes will turn to see
How can I tell, if your heart even cares
That I am singing questions, seeking pain repair

[Chorus]
But there’s a light in the corner that’s filling up the frame
It draws me closer but I still don’t know its name

[Verse 2]
How can I know
If this place feeds my bones
If home is where my heart is
I feel safe with you
Just tell me the truth
That’s how I’ll know that you care
If this all leads to pretense
I won’t be prepared

[Chorus]
Cause there’s a light in the corner that’s filling up the frame
I’d let it take control if I only knew you’d say
"I’ll be the light in the corner that makes you feel okay
I’m drawn in closer when you call me by my name”

[Outro]
Oh please call me by name
Call me by name and I won’t run away
