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
