Please give me permission Cause some things I've been wanting to say are Just a little bit off limits (I'll pretend that I am optimistic Of where my heart has gone) But truth is I haven't felt Your love In so long, I've been wanting it from someone But honestly it's not Your fault (I'll pretend that I am optimistic Of where my heart has gone) We look around We just see a couple billion people Hurting other people We're just trying to be happy But we try chasing money, chasing power, chasing people We're pretty positive we still don't know how to be happy, ah This song was written when I got a text on my cell phone Somebody was talking bout the next show Turns out, when I read the text message My career wasn't affected But I questioned where my heart goes There's a certain sinking feeling you get Finding out about a little kid From a text alert from Amber Where exactly did we go so wrong? How did somebody feel so far gone That this evil could honestly seem like the answer? We look around We just see a couple billion people Hurting other people We're just trying to be happy But we try chasing money, chasing power, chasing people We're pretty positive we still don't know how to be happy, ah We look around We just see a couple billion people Hurting other people We're just trying to be happy But we try chasing money, chasing power, chasing people We're pretty positive we still don't know how to be happy, ah I've been wondering if Optimism Often is an Optical illusion Of a desperate mind Maybe I'll have to Ask the actors If the happy-ever-after's Just a waste of time I've been wondering if Optimism Often is an Optical illusion Of a desperate mind Maybe I'll have to Ask the actors If the happy-ever-after's Just a waste of time We look around We just see a couple billion people Hurting other people We're just trying to be happy But we try chasing money, chasing power, chasing people We're pretty positive we still don't know how to be happy, ah We look around We just see a couple billion people Hurting other people We're just trying to be happy But we try chasing money, chasing power, chasing people We're pretty positive we still don't know how to be happy, ah I barely believed in You today I'm not trying to be dramatic Just after emphatically Asking the questions that had to be asked When naturally Assessing half of what we all have been pretending to be End this belief That I'm talking to the ceiling Please be Clearly in this room and see me Feel me You feel the Pain reiterated In a half a million ways But maybe You could be in love with me Honestly, it seems unlikely I could be Entirely Rewired to be Doubtlessly aware of how You see me But I see This isn't the first time Someone's questioned this relationship And ended in a landslide But why Must I assume this long-distance relationship Will stay this way For basically forever Whatever the case In this in between space Would You hold onto me And count the days til we're together?
