The Moon Jays - Brightside

I'm in the same place
The same place I was a year ago
Trying to save face
And finish this damn song I wrote
It's a curious thing when you try to compromise
And you start to believe that you'll never be quite surprised
Cuz you're just too Goddamn simple minded
Tried to fantasize of something that reminds you
Of better times but realized
It's not a silver line or something you can cling to
Stop trying to hide behind the lie
Sometimes the Brightside is just too hard to find
Trying to think straight
Ignore the bullshit I've been sold
Cuz you can't always translate
The story after it's been told
Cuz time and time again it's hanging you by a rope
But you'll always remember the dream that you failed to hold
So we sing oh oh oh oh oh oh
Tried to fantasize of something that reminds you
Of better times but realized
It's not a silver line or something you can cling to
Stop trying to hide behind the lie
Sometimes the Brightside is just too hard to find
It's never good enough
Stop trying to test your luck
No it's never good enough
That's why you'll be getting drunk
Singing oh my friend don't tell me 'bout dreams again
Of high hopes and a fairy tale love it's gonna
Kill you son you'll be swimming in blood
And by the time you learn you'll ready to turn the page
Once more as you give it a whirl
Ready to discover the thing you were fighting for
Snap back to find that today and tomorrow all fade away into yesterday
So give it a rest while you have the chance
And just be happy that you can dance
I'm done so to hell with the fun
I'm not gonna say there's a Brightside for anyone
Tried to fantasize of something that reminds you
Of better times but realized
It's not a silver line or something you can cling to
Stop trying to hide behind the lie
Sometimes the Brightside is just too hard to find
