We Need to Stay Positive
Just like a piece of glass, buried in the sand
I will try and avoid you as long as I can
But I know that one day I'll take you the wrong step and I'll find you
And hopefully this time I'm wearing shoes
I'm under prepared
Fragile and scared
I'm taking a dive on the shortest of breaths
But the air in my throat gives me hope that I won't
Die a slow and insufferable death
Yes, we need to stay positive
We need to believe
Hey Jon, I agree
Last night I was walking
I like to be barefoot and there I would see
The ground 'neath my feet
The trash and debris
Was hard for my chin to stay high, looking bleak
I step around needles
I jump over vomit
I kick away plastic, I see a used condom
From sex in a car
Or sex in a gutter
At least it was safe and they loved one another
We need to stay positive
We need to believe
And now and for the rest of time
I will claim when my mistakes are mine
I'm a man who takes responsibility
And I don't really have that much to hide
Every time I swallow, I taste pride
Take what you want and then give the rest back to me
You see stealth like a mirror
Hanging on the wall
It's only a matter of time until I fall
And the shots may be neat but they're a threat to your feet
So hopefully this time you're wearing shoes
Make sure you're prepared
Remember they said
You should ignore all the voices inside of your head
Keep your mind on your mind and I'm sure you will find that you're safe now the danger has left
And you need to stay positive
You need to believe
Well Jon, I discovered
You told me your troubles
You told me the shambles, the cities above all
The grass underfoot's no longer green
The cobble stone streets of colonial rubble
But the good thing I see is that you take a step forward
With shoes on your feet you can kick those in order
A lesson from lemons
Even shitty lemons can make lemonade way better than weapons
You need to stay positive
Damn it, believe
And now and for the rest of time
I will claim when my mistakes are mine
I'm a man who takes responsibility
And I don't really have that much to hide
Every time I swallow, I taste pride
So take what you want and then give the rest back to me
Take what you want and then give the rest back to me
(Yup)
Take what you want and then give the rest back to me
