The Local Optimist (Johnson)
I like sitting in silence
I like being scared but
most of all I like you
you see me walking by
you hear me playing my guitar all night;

what writes this crazy fool?
what solace has he in his heart save for the memories of his mind;

I like sunrises more than sunsets-
she sends my way forlorn
but i won't get stuck in this web of politics
where we all end up the fool

I like how sometimes things don't seem to be quite what they are-
On the surface there's something new
and there's something about this life that I'm so grateful and happy to be here that I just can't feel blue.

The Local Optimist

Drowning (Johnson)
Hold me close
Hide my innocence
Make me believe I exist
Find the key
keep me deep inside
I don't want your face to fade away

you have shown so much to me
I'll lift you up and hold you up so you can breathe
I've been here too long basking in my nothingness
fill this void with everything but myself
So I can be there

pick up the pieces
Fragments of hopes and dreams
I want to wash them with the rain.
