Everyone I Know (The Optimist) Lyrics by Ways Away

Ways Away

2020

[Verse 1]
Out in the city with the gonna be's
It's gotta be a burden knowing everything
This is the longest line I've ever seen
Dead bored, still waiting for an opening
[Chorus]
It seems like everyone I know is just some jaded fucking joke
With nothing to do and not a god damn thing to show
And all those things that you say are blowing up in your face
But I can't lie, it feels great, I feel great
[Verse 2]
You got your blueprints and your 5 year plan
Waiting for your call with your number in your hand
Stars you pictured fly right over head
Now I bet you wish you would've spoke a little less
[Chorus - 2x]
It seems like everyone I know is just some jaded fucking joke
With nothing to do and not a god damn thing to show
And all those things that you say are blowing up in your face
But I can't lie, it feels great, I feel great
[Outro]
It seems like everyone I know is just some jaded fucking joke
(Out in the city with the gonna be's)
With nothing to do and not a god damn thing to show
(This is the longest line I've ever seen)
And all those things that you say are blowing up in your face
(Stars you pictured fly right over head)
But I can't lie, it feels great, I feel great
(I feel great, I feel great, I feel great)
