[Lyric] Stay Positive (The Hold Steady)

[Verse 1]
I got a lot of old friends
That are getting back in touch
And it's a pretty good feeling
Yeah it feels pretty good

[Verse 2]
I get a lot of double takes
When I'm coming around the corners
And it's mostly pretty nice
Yeah it's mostly pretty alright

[Verse 3]
Because most kids give me credit
For being down with it
When it was back in the day
Back when things were way different

[Verse 4]
When the Youth of Today
And the early 7 Seconds
Taught me some of life's most valuable lessons
[Verse 5]
There's gonna come a time
When the scene will seem less sunny
It will probably get druggy
And the kids will seem too skinny

[Verse 6]
There's gonna come a time
When she's gonna have to go
With whoever's gonna get her the highest

[Verse 7]
There's gonna come a time
When the true scene leaders
Will forget where they differ
And get big picture

[Verse 8]
Because the kids at the shows
They'll have kids of their own
And the sing along songs will be our scriptures

[Chorus]
We gotta stay positive
We gotta stay positive
We gotta stay positive
We gotta stay positive
[Bridge]
When the chaperone crowned us the king and the queen
I knew that we’d arrived at a Unified Scene
And all those little lambs from my dreams
Well, they were there, too
'Cause it’s one thing to start it with a Positive Jam
And it’s another thing to see on through
And we couldn’t’ve even done this if it wasn’t for you

[Chorus]
We gotta stay positive
We gotta stay positive
We gotta stay positive
We gotta stay positive
