It's sunny here in the valley
But it's pouring rain in your dreams
Maybe there's something in the water making them feel out of reach
When you're way down
And it's dark out
And it feels like no one's there with you you're wrong
Cause I've been here all along
And when the roof caves in and you're stuck in the moment
But the world keeps spinning around
I'll be with you for all of it
I'd rather be an optimist
And if you lose your hope
I know the feeling when the world keeps counting you out
I'll never let you fall for it
I'd rather be an optimist
You don't have to rush to get there
Don't be afraid to ask for help
If you stand up tall
You can break the walls
That you built up around yourself
If you're way down
And it's dark out
And it feels like no one's there with you you're wrong
Cause I've been here all along
And when the roof caves in and you're stuck in the moment
But the world keeps spinning around
I'll be with you for all of it
I'd rather be an optimist
And if you lose your hope
I know the feeling when the world keeps counting you out
I'll never let you fall for it
I'd rather be an optimist
I'd rather be a glass half full type of guy
I'd rather have the good days stuck on my mind
I'll be with you for all of it
I'd rather be an optimist
I'd rather be a glass half full type of guy
I'd rather have the good days stuck on my mind
I'll be with you for all of it
I'd rather be an optimist
