Bright Beginnings

I don’t know but I could swear
We left our better selves somewhere
These days all we do it seems
Is chase our checks and call them dreams

I’ve known you since we were kids
With the whole world cut up on a dish
Then the work went south and your dad got sick
And the ground below began to slip

Bright beginnings often fade
Precious few can keep the flame

So let the chips fall where they may
We’re headed out of town today
Where we’re bound for I can’t say
Cause there’s no sure things in this life babe

Bright beginnings often fade
Precious few can keep the flame
All I have I’d give to stand
Beside that brightness once again

And all I have I would have happily give
All I have I would happily give
All I have I would happily give
All I have I would happily give

Baby to stand there with you now
To stand there with you ever
To stand there with you now
To stand there with you ever
To stand there with you now
To stand there with you ever
To stand there with you now
To stand there with you ever
