This song showcases Tully's propensity for optimism as she moves into the village to open her bookshop and only sees the positives. This is contrasted by the townsfolk, who all seem incredibly pessimistic in comparison.
Lyrics
Tully:
This town! Oh, I'm sure that I'll like this town Nothing could bring me down. I swear there's magic in the air Villager: That's carbon monoxide.
Tully: These folk. Well, they seem such pleasant folk. Jim: Fuck off!
Tully: That's Jim, and that's an inside joke. And he's actually a real good bloke. Villager: You know he slept with my wife?!
Tully:
They say life's only what you make it
and life will treat you like shit if you're willing to take.
You'll drink more in if you're glass if half full,
if you learn to dance
Chorus dancer: Ah, fucking calf pull! Tully: You'll get there in the end, my friend with...
Optimism, blind optimism With a wink, a smile and not shits given Optimism! Villager: She's got autism. Tully: Your skepticism, shall be forgiven Villagers: You'll soon come to know,
the grass round here don't fucking grow
Tully: It could be greener, I'll admit But I've seen some grass that looks like sh–
Tully: These books
Villager: We can't read.
Tully: Well, I'm sure that you'd like these books.

but you draw the line at Catcher in the Rye?!
Villager: I can't eat gluten!
Tully:
They say life's only what you make it
and life will treat you like shit if you're willing to take
You'll love life more if you're all you can be,
if you learn to dance
Chorus dancer: Ah, my fucking hammy!
Tully: You'll get there in the end, my friend with...
Optimism, blind optimism
With a wink, a smile and not shits given
Optimism!
Villager: She's got autism.
Tully: Your skepticism, shall be forgiven
Villagers: You'll soon come to know,
the grass round here don't fucking grow
Tully: It could be greener, I'll admit
But I've seen some grass that looks like sh–
When I was younger, I thought that I would change the world. I don't know how, but when there's wills there's ways
or so the story says.
And ain't it strange just seems,
only to be a good idea...
if done tomorrow. But I'm scared tomorrow will just be,
another one of those days.
