BRIGHTSIDE Album Lyrics
(Lyrics to the Full Album on one page)

Brightside

I can see it in the air
Every word was like a smoke from a cigarette
You were blowin' in your hands
The heater broke in the Oldsmobile
And the light in your eyes
Alone on the freeway

I was stranded in the bed
You were listening to The Dark Side of the Moon
I could barely see your eyes
Psilocybin in a hotel room

And the light in your eyes
The waves on the ceiling

I'll be your brightside, baby, tonight
I'll be your brightsidе, baby, tonight
Tonight

You were tired of Tacoma
I was tirеd of believing we were right
Losing every other friend
Finding nothing in the afterlife

But the light in your eyes
Alone on a feeling

I'll be your brightside, baby, tonight
I'll be your brightside, baby, tonight
Tonight

You're stranded on the bridge
You're crying for your kids
I'll be your brightside, baby, tonight
Tonight
Tonight

I could see it in the air
Every word was like a smoke from a cigarette
Sun is coming up ahead
Get your crack the windshield shine

And the light in your eyes
Alone on the freeway

I'll be your brightside, baby, tonight
I'll be your brightside, baby, tonight
Tonight

You're stranded it on the bridge
The cops are closing in
I'll be your brightside, baby, tonight
Tonight
Tonight

A.M. RADIO

Standin' on the corner, I could listen to the radio
When the savior sang from the fire escape on the second floor
You were always saying we would make it to the catacombs
In the end, it came when you wrote my name on the bathroom stall

If the photograph doesn't bring you back
If the final chapter isn't ever after
Ooh

I remember wakin' up the neighbor like a stadium
Yeah, you ran upstairs, screamin' no one cared and the band played on
Even in the limo, you were feelin' like an animal
At the traffic light, when you blew your mind on a mobile phone?

Day and night, my love
You said the blood was on my hands

Long, as you run
I couldn't give you up
Forever run
I couldn't give you up

In the minivan, with your headphones in
Did you write your letters to your shitty friends?
And all this time, you said to me
"My love would never die"

Long, as you run
I couldn't give you up
Forever run
I couldn't give you up (and the daylight in my hand)
Long, as you run (and the silence on the street)
I couldn't give you up (and the long light in my hand)
Forever run (and I was incomplete)
I couldn't give you up (and the daylight in my hand)
Long, as you run (and the silence on the street)
I couldn't give you up (and the long light in my hand)
Gone, don't look back (and I was incomplete)
I couldn't give you up

WHERE WE ARE

Where we are (where we are)
I don't know where we are (where we are)
But it will be okay
Where we are (where we are)
I don't know where we are (where we are)
But it will be okay

Laying on a table like I wasn't even there
Holding on a steering wheel and coming up for air
What was that?
Driving in the rain, what was that?
Calling out your name

Staring at the ceiling fan, I'm feeling far away
Leaning on the reasons like it wasn't even fair
What was that?
Driving in the rain, what was that?
Calling out your name

Where we are
I don't know where we are, but it will be okay
Where we are
I don't know where we are, but it will be okay

Crashed the car in Arizona on the interstate
People pulling over, crying, thinking we were dead
What was that?
Driving in the rain, what was that?
Calling out your name

I know who you wanted me to be
Always holding up your tragedy

Where we are
I don't know where we are, but it will be okay
Where we are (where we are)
I don't know where we are (where we are)
But it will be okay
Where we are (where we are)
I don't know where we are (where we are)
But it will be okay
Where we are (where we are)
I don't know where we are (where we are)
But it will be okay
Where we are (where we are)
I don't know where we are (where we are)
But it will be okay (okay)
Where we are (where we are)
I don't know where we are (where we are)
But it will be okay

Where we are
I don't know where we are, but it will be okay

BIRTHDAY

I didn't know I was the only thing you saw
Your eyes were blue
I don't know why I couldn't love myself
But you needed proof

You and me will always be the ones to hang around
I can see the loneliness you keep out of sight

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's your birthday, dear
It's alright, it's alright, and we're carrying on
And you know, and you know, and you know
It's your birthday, oh
Every word, every word
And we're singing along

Over and over
I can only scream so loud, but you ignored me
You picked it up, you picked it all apart
And, now, there's nothing for me

We gather 'round
Your house burned down
As you held a garden hose
You and me, will always be the ones to hang around

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's your birthday, dear (it's alright)
It's alright, it's okay, and we're carrying on
And you know, and you know, and you know
It's your birthday (it's alright))
Every word, every word
And we're singing along

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's your birthday, dear
It's alright, it's okay, And we're singing along

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's your birthday, dear (it's alright)
It's alright, it's okay, and we're carrying on (it's alright)
And you know, and you know, and you know
It's your birthday (it's alright)
Every word, every word
And we're singing along

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's your birthday, dear (it's alright)
It's alright, it's okay, and we're carrying on (it's alright)
And you know, and you know, and you know
It's your birthday (it's alright)
Every word, every word
And we're singing along

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's your birthday, dear (it's alright)
It's alright, it's okay, and we're carrying on (it's alright)
And you know, and you know, and you know
It's your birthday

BIG SHOT

All the things you said to me
The manifest and destiny
Well, all of this could go away right now

And everyone was in the band
And I was on another planet
And then you, were all alone

And you wanna be a big shot
You wanna be the big man
You wanna hold a big gun
You gotta have a quick hand
You wanna be the big shot now
The chosen one your mother loved the most
After all

Early morning, still in bed
You hate yourself for what you said
But you could never admit you were wrong

And every song was out of key
And I was in the in-between
And then you, still all alone

And you wanna be a big shot
You wanna be the big man
You wanna place the big bet
You better have a big hand
You wanna be the big shot
You wanna be the only son we love
After all

And you wanna be a big shot
You wanna be the big man
You wanna hold a big gun (big gun)
You better have a quick hand (quick hand)
You wanna be the big shot (the big shot)
You wanna be the big man (big man)
You wanna place a big bet (big bet)
You better have a sick hand (sick hand)

You wanna be the big shot now
Big shot now
After all

NEVER REALLY MINE

Love was not designed for time
You were never really mine
Find a love, I was leveled at the sight of you
You were wrong, what I needed was a little clue

All alone in the middle of the night
Give it, give it up just to leave it on the line
Love was not designed for time
You were never really mine

All alone at the traffic stop light, I
Live at home 'cause I never knew the right time
Everyone's gonna leave it where you left
You're a woman on the run, I'm the silence on the staircase

Love was not designed for time
You were never really mine
Love was not designed for time
You were never really mine

Hey, don't you fade, don't you fade away, no
Hey, don't you fade, don't you fade away, oh
Hey, don't you fade, don't you fade away, no
Hey, don't you fade, don't you fade away, no
Hey, don't you fade, don't you fade away
Hey, don't you fade, don't you fade, don't you fade

Say it once so the neighbors all can hear you
I'm the one who was never gonna play to lose
All of a sudden you're fallin' out of frame
I was lookin' through the camera, you're lookin' for a way out

Love was not designed for time
You were never really mine
Love was not designed for time
You were never really mine

Were never really mine
You were never really mine

ROLLERCOASTER

Sittin' on a rollercoaster
Holdin' on for dear life
Sittin' on a rollercoaster
Holdin' on for dear life

I know what is what
I know who you are
I know what is already gone

Making all the plans for later violated by
Everyone was able, Lord they hate the other side

I know what is what
I can feel the rust
I know you are already gone

Everyone was wrong
They were on the ledge
Everyone was only dyin' to live

Ooh
Ooh

I wish I could sail away
Find another island
I wish we could start it over
Have another child

I know what is what
I can feel the rust
I know what is already gone

Everyone was wrong
I was on the ledge
Everyone was only flies in a web

They were always dying to know you
You could always see it in my eyes
Everyone was holding their breath, so cold
But I, I forgot
I, I forgot

REMINGTON

And the ocean was all in my fingertips
But I held you on my back
And the foam of the sea was an awful white
But beyond it painted black

Waitin' on the sun
I'm waitin' on the sun
I'm waitin' on the sun tonight

I awoke from the sleep of a hundred days
To the fire station bells
And the smell of the smoke brought me back in time
When my father killed the cold

Hey Mr. Remington, promise us everything
Please Mr. Remington, now
Hey Mr. Remington, promise us everything
Please Mr. Remington, now

REPRISE

Callin' on your neighborhood
Tell me who to like
Everyone's a friend
Every now and then
Tell me who to like

I'm headed for the lights
I'm headed for the brightside, baby, tonight
Baby, tonight

Painted like a parasite
He's too young to die
Everyone's a friend
Every now and then
Way too young to die

I'm headed for the lights
I'm headed for the brightside, baby, tonight
I'm headed for the lights
I'm headed for the brightside, baby, tonight

Waitin' on the sun
I'm waitin' on the sun
I'm waitin' on the sun, tonight

Waitin' on the sun
I'm waitin' on the sun
I'm waitin' on the sun, tonight

I'm headed for the brightside, baby, tonight
I'm headed for the lights (he's headed for the lights)
I'm headed for the brightside, baby, tonight
I'm headed for the lights (he's headed for the lights)
I'm headed for the brightside, baby, tonight

I'm headed for the brightside, baby, tonight (final chapter, ever after)

Photographs don't bring you back, no
Final chapter, ever after
