We Were the Brightest
You showed up like you'd never gone
Almost forgot it had been so long
I've never seen you look so alone
We were the ones who had it all
The kids too privileged to fail
You thought that you would cure the world
Cos we were the brightest
And we were the kindest
With all of our prospects
Held in our soft hearts
We were the sequel
And we were the brightest
And we were the kindest
If we could only go back
Give it all another try
What would it have looked like
What would it have looked like
What would it have looked like
If you had never gone away
You were golden
You were voted by your peers
You were perfect
I never could keep up
Every summer
There's a flicker in my memory
When it mattered
Did you ever really believe
What would it have looked like
What would it have looked like
What would it have looked like
If you had never gone away
What would it have looked like
What would it have looked like
What would it have looked like
If you had never gone away
Cos we were the brightest
And we were the kindest
With all of our prospects
Held in our soft hearts
We were the sequel
And we were the brightest
And we were the kindest
If we could only go back
Give it all another try
Cos we were the brightest
(I know that we have made mistakes)
And we were the kindest
(But it's not too late)
With all of our prospects
(I know that we have made mistakes)
Held in our soft hearts
We were the sequel
(But it's not too late)
We were the brightest
(I know that we have made mistakes)
And we were the kindest
(But it's not too late)
With all of our prospects
(I know that we have made mistakes)
Held in our soft hearts
We were the sequel
(But it's not too late)
I know that we have made mistakes
But it's not too late
Almost forgot it had been so long
I've never seen you look so alone
We were the ones who had it all
The kids too privileged to fail
You thought that you would cure the world
Cos we were the brightest
And we were the kindest
With all of our prospects
Held in our soft hearts
We were the sequel
And we were the brightest
And we were the kindest
If we could only go back
Give it all another try
What would it have looked like
What would it have looked like
What would it have looked like
If you had never gone away
You were golden
You were voted by your peers
You were perfect
I never could keep up
Every summer
There's a flicker in my memory
When it mattered
Did you ever really believe
What would it have looked like
What would it have looked like
What would it have looked like
If you had never gone away
What would it have looked like
What would it have looked like
What would it have looked like
If you had never gone away
Cos we were the brightest
And we were the kindest
With all of our prospects
Held in our soft hearts
We were the sequel
And we were the brightest
And we were the kindest
If we could only go back
Give it all another try
Cos we were the brightest
(I know that we have made mistakes)
And we were the kindest
(But it's not too late)
With all of our prospects
(I know that we have made mistakes)
Held in our soft hearts
We were the sequel
(But it's not too late)
We were the brightest
(I know that we have made mistakes)
And we were the kindest
(But it's not too late)
With all of our prospects
(I know that we have made mistakes)
Held in our soft hearts
We were the sequel
(But it's not too late)
I know that we have made mistakes
But it's not too late
