Im certain this song isnt optimistic at all. Most of noah and the whales songs arent. Seeing as it says "In 5 years time we could..." at the beginning shows this is all just in his imagination. It seems to be about him and one of his good friends who he is in love with. Its all in future and conditional tense and at the end when it says "you might just prove me wrong", i see this as not being optimistic but instead its saying that she might prove his him wrong in thinking that they could ever be together.
I do love this song though, I think the fact that it does sound happy and has the pessimistic undertones is the beauty of it (:
See I took the "you might just prove me wrong" as a good thing. Regarding that verse where he's saying we might night speak, or get along...maybe she'll prove him wrong as is they will speak and know each other.
or maybe thats just how I'm relating to it.
