Forget About The Brightside

Slow down

This road that you're headed

I've seen it all time and again

Surprise jumps from behind every corner

So stop before you get roped in

Because I know if you let it

It will become deceptive

Make you think you can fit in

And you will look quite pathetic

When you become receptive

And then it smacks hard right on the chin

A fall from grace at the speed of a plane

From as high as you'll ever be

Don't get caught now

With your head in the clouds

Singing everything's turning out great

Because if you decide that you feel good inside

Things are surely to change

And you know I can't have it that way

So wise up

Come to your senses

There's only one way this can end

You can't be seeing things clearly

Or else you'd be covering your skin

It's the strong combination

Of fear and elation

That makes you not able to think

So get on the right side and

Forget about the bright side

There's only so much you can take

All of the signs are out

They're plastered outside of your house

In the hopes that you'll want to see

Dam's do break on the worst of days
