“Bright & Early” is the opening track for the EP Yearbook: November, first written four years before its release. Writer Ryan O'Neal penned the track as the “problem child” of Yearbook, saying:

[Verse 1]
Bright and early
Through the curtains
The sun comes pouring in
Filling glasses
Up with diamonds
Stirring where I've been
[Pre-Chorus]
It's all trigger and effect
Dominoes at their best
[Chorus]
In the end I'm told
It taught me everything I know
That the wreckage left behind
Will somehow make me grow
But why couldn't I have been safe from the start?
Soundly asleep
[Verse 2]
The warmth of blankets
Makes me nervous
I'd rather catch a cold
Like sparks in matches
Blink, you'll miss it
The future's up in smoke
Though dust has settled
I smell the ashes
Buried in my clothes
[Pre-Chorus]
It's all trigger and effect, I know
Dominoes at their best
[Chorus]
In the end I'm told
It taught me everything I know
But when the fire took our home
I lost part of my soul
[Outro]
From the ground up
I'll keep building
Houses into homes
If trust is ribbon
Then patience ties it
In a perfect bow
