This song is about the narrator’s desire to hold on to the last moments of his relationship. Even though he knows that it won’t last much longer, he still has the urge to hold on.
[Verse 1]
For a moment there
I thought
That we would be alright
I was tired
And you
Were standing in the best light
[Chorus]
It was so bright, so bright, so bright
That I forgot about the dark
It was so bright, so bright, so bright
That I forgot about the dark
[Verse 2]
I started to believe
In all the stories
Cause I couldn’t stand to fight
I was so tired
Of hanging on to that
Last bit of light
Whoa
[Chorus]
But it was so bright, so bright, so bright
That I forgot about the dark
It was so bright, so bright, so bright
That I forgot about the dark
[Verse 3]
Everything went back
To how it was
But nothing ever felt right
I was so tired
And I
Should’ve closed my eyes
I should’ve closed my eyes
[Chorus]
But it was so bright, so bright, so bright
That I forgot about the dark
It was so bright, so bright, so bright
That I forgot about the dark
Whoa it was so bright, so bright, so bright
That I forgot about the dark
(You were standing in the best light)
It was so bright, so bright, so bright
That I forgot about the dark
I forgot about the dark
I forgot about the dark
I forgot about the dark
I forgot about the dark
I forgot about the dark
I forgot about the dark
I forgot about the dark
I forgot about the dark
I forgot about the dark
I forgot about the dark
I forgot about the dark
I forgot about the dark
I forgot about the dark
I forgot about the dark
[Outro]
You were standing in the best light
You were standing in the best light
You were standing in the best light
You were standing in the best light
You were standing in the best light
You were standing in the best light
