about

2nd single from Wave Potter's forthcoming album.

lyrics

I feel like i am spread so thin
Just trying hard to satisfy your whims
I'm always trapped inside a hamster wheel
Going nowhere but i'm fighting still
Working so hard to give you what you want
I need relief because it's building up
Between my shoulders and behind my face
I'm getting crushed! Is this my choiceless fate?

Oh oh woah oh oh
Optimists say that attitude defeats circumstance
Oh oh woah oh oh
Pessimists waste time making themselves feel miserable

So i'm looking on the brighter side
Brighter side

I just want to take a moment to
To look around and take in all the views
But i cannot get it off of my mind
These worries plague me almost all the time
You may look at me and see an adult working forty steady week after week
But i still feel like a kid till i look in the mirror and my heart melts
Cause i'm getting older and i'm always feeling tired now
And when i'm not tired it's probably just my anxiety taking over

Oh oh woah oh oh
Optimists say that attitude defeats circumstance
Oh oh woah oh oh
Pessimists waste time making themselves feel miserable

So i'm looking on the brighter side
Brighter side

Time keeps pulling us towards the dark and
We're fighting just to feel alive
They say time will heal all my wounds
But now time is what is breaking my heart
I am stuck inside an hourglass
Fighting hard to stop the sand from passing
But i am struggling to keep my present from turning past
We are helpless when it comes to this
But we keep fighting fighting to resist it
We keep on struggling to save our time
But it cannot be contained inside a piggy bank

Oh oh woah oh oh
Optimists say that attitude defeats circumstance
Oh oh woah oh oh
Pessimists waste time making themselves feel miserable

So i'm looking on the brighter side
Brighter side
(Looking on the brighter side, i don't wanna waste my time)
