Optimism's glow

I've always been so hard
Hard to impress, harder to please, hard to hold on to
You're easier than me
Easy to love, easy to please, easy to cling to

And here we are, as dim as morning stars dissolved in day
And here we go, with optimism's glow
Because I wake with an angel with her arms wrapped 'round this devil
Who has slept with a clear conscience
Because he stands behind his girl

Old habits melt like ice
That watered down the drinks, that poured into the sinks the night I met you
And with no drunken kiss
I went on my way, not knowing the way the night I left you

And here we are, as bright as evening stars that light the way
And here we go, with optimism's glow
Because I wake with an angel with her arms wrapped 'round this devil
Who has slept with a clear conscience
Because he stands behind his girl

And here we are, as bright as evening stars that light the way
And here we go, with optimism's glow
Because I wake with an angel with her arms wrapped 'round this devil
Who has slept with a clear conscience
And with no tantrums to resist
The kicking, screaming
Pounding fists were all because it led to this
Me behind my girl
