Lyrics
Bright Tonight
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
From the beginning we were always going to fail
We were the next thing that the world could not wait to tear down
Off balance in our own minds
Off balance in the ways we looked to everybody else
On and on all summer long we never stood a chance
Sky bright tonight
Live forever always bright tonight
Hey you
You be who you are
You be who you are forever
You be who you are
You my brightest star across the sky
You're bright tonight
It was right now and then suddenly it's gone
We were both wrong but here we are we're right where we belong
Off balance in our own lives
Off balance in the ways we looked to everybody else
On and on all summer long we never stood a chance
Sky bright tonight
Live forever always bright tonight
Hey you
You be who you are
You be who you are forever
You be who you are
You my brightest star across the sky
You're bright tonight
