Upbeat but melancholy pop blues
Melody Steven Rhodes and Tristan Peach. The rest by Tristan Peach

Had a fridge and a sink but I never really cooked anything
Though I looked 35 and I felt 21 the truth was somewhere in between
The anger from my mid-20’s
Has turned into apathy
I’m embarrassed by my past but it’s a place I’d rather be
They say optimism really is the best decision
It helps you say that something’s right when reality says that it isn’t
I’m living next to the highway separated by a big wooden fence
And the highway divides this part of the town from the rest
You’ve gone overseas yeah you do it every couple of years
You make new friends and then you disconnect
Did I drive you to do this?
Like your father the evangelist
A bush track through the scrub to the one horse farm near the old stained concrete bridge
They say optimism really is the best decision
It helps you say that something’s right when reality says that it isn’t
I saw your picture in the paper read the lines between your smile
Every word there contradicted by the frightened look in your eyes
