Lyrics The Hold Steady

The Hold Steady

Stay Positive

I've got a lot of old friends that're getting back in touch

And it's a pretty good feeling yea it feels pretty good

I get a lot of double takes when I'm coming round the corners

And its mostly pretty nice its mostly pretty alright

'Cause most kids give me credit for being down with it

When it was back in the day back when things were way different

When the youth of today and the early seven seconds

Taught me some of lifes most valuable lessons

There's gonna come a time when the scene will seem less sunny

It'll probably get druggy and the kids will seem to skinny

There's gonna come a time when shes gonna have to go

With whoevers gonna get her the highest

There's gonna come a time when the true scene leaders

Forget where they differ and get big picture

'cause the kids at their shows, they'll have kids of their own

The sing-a-long songs will be our scriptures

We gotta stay positive

We gotta stay positive

We gotta stay positive

We gotta stay positive

When the chaperon 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 its one thing to start it with a positive jam

And its another thing to see it all through

And we couldn't of even done this if it wasn't for you

We gotta stay positive

We gotta stay positive

We gotta stay positive
