Lyrics
I’ve bit off more than I can chew
I felt the sting and slap of failure
Missed my due
Like a hot knife, cutting through a slice
Of ego of ambition yeah it put me off my mission
I’ve been wondering alleys in a dirty shirt
Taking this and that ‘cause I had so much hurt
I’m not blinding you with liquor
For your tongue to get a flicker
I just need to tell my story
If you’re drunk I’ll get done quicker
Hey, hey, gotta keep your hope up
Gotta keep your eye on the price
Hey, hey, gotta keep your highs up
I’m an optimist of the most dangerous size
There is more to this life
I must believe that there is more to this life
Let me get straight to it
There’s more explaining I can do
But I am here just for diversion, as are you
Don’t mean to jump the gun
But we could have some fun
There’s little sense in dishing
Since I notice you’re not listening
Ooh, I’m feeling fairly lucky
I’ve been serving shadows of success in my dreams
And yes I know my guard’s down
But I don’t mind if you see
Hey, hey, gotta keep your hope up
Gotta keep your eye on the price
Hey, hey, gotta keep your highs up
I’m an optimist of the most dangerous size
There is more to this life
I must believe that there is more to this life
