Stay Positive Lyrics - Stay Positive - The Hold Steady

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
