Theme From “Misguided Optimism”

The Colosseum looms over our frail bodies
Wracked by guilt and happenstance
I showed you a song I never thought I could
And you showed me there was a chance

Significant places and significant faces
Things that hold value in our lives
Things we try to pretend that we didn't miss
Things we pretended we despised

Now things are not resolved
Maybe nothing's ever resolved
But I can't help asking myself

Can we-can we-can wе-can we be friends again?
Can wе-can we-can we-can we be friends again?
Can we-can we-can we-can we be friends again?
Can we-can we-can we-can we be friends again?

We create aphorisms and I relay events
Anything else wouldn't make any sense

We were meant to sing together
We were meant to play together

Two of us wearing raincoats and fashions of fate
We never found any use for our hate

We were meant to sing together
We were meant to play together
We were meant to run together
We were meant to walk together
We were meant to sing together
We were meant to play together
We were meant to walk together
We were meant to play together
We were meant to sing together
We were meant to run together

Can we-can we-can we-can we be friends again? (I think we can)
Can we-can we-can we be friends again? (I think we can)
Can we-can we-can we-can we be friends again? (I checked with my therapist)
Can we-can we-can we-can we be friends again? (She said it was a good idea)

Can we-can we-can we-can we be friends again?
Can we-can we-can we-can we be friends again? (I'd love to!)
Can we-can we-can we-can we be friends again? (I really missed you)
Can we-can we-can we-can we be friends again? (I think we can)
