LYRICS:
I think it’s an illusion 
The greener grass past the picket fence
I think it’s an illusion 
Every smile through the thin glass
I think it’s an illusion 
The champagne price tag through the window
I want what I don’t hold

Just to have more 
Just to have better 
Will I be satisfied ever
Just to have more 
Just to have better 
Will I be satisfied ever
Ever 

It’s like a New Year’s resolution 
A cheap fix just chasing trends
And I’ve come to this conclusion 
That all of this, it may never end
So give me a solution 
No magic tricks or fake amends
How far will we all go? 

Just to have more 
Just to have better 
Will I be satisfied ever 
Just to have more 
Just to have better 
Will I be satisfied ever
Ever 

There is more than the dreams we’ve all been chasing
There is more than the pain we’ve all been facing	
There is more than the fears we’ve been defending
There is more than this life we’ve all been renting

There is more than the dreams we’ve all been chasing
There is more than the pain we’ve all been facing	
There is more than the fears we’ve been defending
There is more than the always running after more 

There is more than this
There is more than this
There is more than this
There is more than this
There is more than this
There is more than this
There is more than this
There is more than this

I think it’s an illusion 
The greener grass past the picket fence
I think it’s an illusion 
I think it’s an illusion
I think it’s an illusion 
I think it’s an illusion 
I think it’s an illusion 
I think it’s an illusion 
I think it’s an illusion 
I think it’s an illusion 
I think it’s an illusion

Lyrics:
I walk down the street and I see that the flowers are blooming 
The sun's coming up from the ground to kiss the sky 
Since today's a new day and my attitude I get to choose it 
You know I've decided 
I've made up my mind 
And it's about time 

Instead of wasting time thinking bout all the things that I don't have 
I'm gonna change my mind and start thinking sunny side up 
Instead of wasting time thinking bout all the things that could've been 
I'm gonna make up my mind and start thinking sunny side up 
Hey 
Sunny side up 
Sunny side up now 
Sunny side up 
I'm a start thinking 

Today was a rough kind of day at the office 
My co-workers were feeling a little blue 
So I tried to cheer them up with some pancakes 
And said here's something I'm trying today 
If you'd like you can join me too 
Everybody now 

Instead of wasting time thinking bout all the things that I don't have 
I'm gonna change my mind and start thinking sunny side up 
Instead of wasting time thinking bout all the things that could've been 
I'm gonna make up my mind and start thinking sunny side up 
Hey 
Sunny side up 
Sunny side up now 
Sunny side up 
I'm a start thinking 

Come on come on come on come on come on come on 
Take the day back 
Come on come on come on come on come on come on 
Take the day back 
Come on come on come on come on come on come on 
Take the day back 
Come on come on come on come on come on come on 
Take the day back 
Come on come on come on come on come on come on 
Take the day back 
Come on come on come on come on come on come on 
Take the day back 
Come on come on come on come on come on come on 
Take the day back 
Come on come on come on come on come on come on 
Take the day back 

Instead of wasting time thinking bout all the things that I don't have 
I'm gonna change my mind and start thinking 

Instead of wasting time thinking bout all the things that I don't have 
I'm gonna change my mind and start thinking start thinking 
Instead of wasting time thinking bout all the things that could've been 
I'm gonna make up my mind and start thinking sunny side up 
Hey 
Sunny side up 
Sunny side up now 
Sunny side up 
I'm a start thinking
