[Verse 1] Hard to explain what a feeling I've found Between hope and a doubt that holds me to the ground Low in dry fields of California I dream Of a life lived with ease; simple and serene [Pre-Chorus] But it's hard to find the optimist in me When the life I've loved is slowly wrecking me [Chorus] It's more, it's more, it's more to you than it was when we were kids And now, and now, you see the world, oh, plainly as it is And boy, were you wrong And boy, were you wrong [Verse 2] Booze is the kindest of poisons these days You wake up, a fresh start, troubles masked in the haze [Pre-Chorus] But it's hard to find the optimist in me When the life I've loved is slowly wrecking me [Chorus] It's more, it's more, it's more to you than it was when we were kids And now, and now, you see the world, oh, plainly as it is And boy, were you wrong And boy, were you wrong [Bridge] Take it back, oh, just take it back You never did a thing for me There's a youthful bliss that I often miss And it haunts my memory Cause it's a life that slipped away Through my own two hands Yeah, through my own two hands [Chorus] It's more, it's more, it's more to you than it was when we were kids And now, and now, you see the world, oh, plainly as it is And boy, were you wrong Yeah, boy, were you wrong [Chorus] It's more, it's more, it's more to you than it was when we were kids And now, and now, you see the world, oh, plainly as it is And boy, were you wrong And boy, were you wrong Oh, you were so wrong Oh boy, were you wrong
