Lyrics
Thought I saw you comin' into the bar
Bein' so sweet in that way you are
Thought I saw you talkin' with friends
And walkin' from your car
After a few, thought I heard you whisper
Felt a trickle of sweat roll down my neck--or was it a kiss from you for me?
Turnin''round and 'round couldn't make a sound or turn in my seat
So easy to swallow, so hard to believe
It's optimistic to say I'm only half ablaze
It's optimistic to say I'm only gone halfways
Optimistic to say I'm only half-crazy for you
Guess I've been seein' things that maybe aren't there
Guess I've been believin' that if I just stare hard enough
hard enough I'll see you care for me
It's optimistic to say I'm only half ablaze
It's optimistic to say I'm only gone halfways
It's optimistic to say I'm only half-crazy for you
Optimistic
It's optimistic to say I'm only half ablaze
It's optimistic to say I'm only gone halfways
It's optimistic to say I'm only half-crazy for you...
