lyrics

I walk in with a smile on my face,
so optimistic.
I have a dream how my life will be;
I'm idealistic.

I'll see the world;
my art will provide.
I'll fall in love,
and I'll be alive.

I wish I could go back to when I could still dream, sometimes.
I find it sad when things don't turn out how they seemed in my mind.

Five years pass.

They walk in with smiles on their face,
so optimistic.
It reminds me of a time when I was unrealistic.

I've gone nowhere,
with projects I've quit.
I'm still alone,
and I want to live.

I wish I could go back to when I could still dream, sometimes.
I find it sad when things don't turn out how they seemed in my mind.
I wish I could go back to when I could still dream, sometimes.
I find it sad when things don't turn out how they seemed in my mind.

(I walk in with a smile on my face.)
So optimistic.
(I have a dream, how my life will be.)
So optimistic.
