The Cable Car Theory - Analysis lyrics

I have somehow gained this reputation for being ever optimistic,

but every time I close my eyes that's the last thing on my mind.

I somehow betrayed this relationship between me

and myself that you see, and this was my responsibility,

and now I know and I wish it all away.

It's hard to admit that even I rely upon this tested

and true excuse that never fails to fail,

"I wish it all away."
