Everyone I Know (The Optimist)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Out in the city with the gonna be's
It's gotta be burden knowing everything
This is longest line I've ever seen
Dead bored, still waiting for an opening
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 that you say are blowing up in your face
But I can't lie it feels great
I feel great
You got your blue prints and your five year plan
Waiting for your call with your number in your hand
Stars your pictured fly right over head
Now I bet you wish you spoke a little less
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 that you say are blowing up in your face
But I can'I lie it feels great
I feel great
