I was getting good at living in my lonely paradise
Now I'm letting her get tangled in my busy little life
She's a heartbreaker on paper,
so I'll read between the lines
Now I'm crossing both my fingers,
and I'm closing both my eyes
We were casually kissing
in the corner of a bar
Trading compliments like medicine to fix our broken hearts
Now I'm narrowing my vision,
I'm a little caught off guard
By how quickly I am feeling,
right at home inside her arms
Cause optimism isn't for the faint of heart
And ain't forever just a fragile house of
cards If you go outside you might get bitten by a
snake But that's a risk I'm willing to take
Cold love often lingers like a sweater that
is torn You don't wear it in the winter,
but you kept it in the drawer
And the last one did some damage,
like a category four Some might call it a disaster,
I call it an open door
Loving someone means you've got someone to lose
And tougher skin don't mean it's never gonna blue
If we take a walk we might get caught out in the rain
But that's a risk I'm willing to take
Experience has taught me not to
trust To lock the door and make sure that it never opens up
Treating anyone that tries to love me like a
stranger What's living without a little danger?
Cause
optimism isn't for the faint of heart
You won't hit the bullseye if you never throw a dart
If you go outside you might get bitten by a snake
But that's a risk I'm willing to take
But that's a risk I'm willing to take
