“Bright” is Allday’s attempt in creating a slow-burning ballad that every self-respecting alt-rock album needs. On Twitter Allday described it:
She warms up slow but once you get to know her she’s really great.
The song has a gloomy vibe to it, with dark emotions pouring through, yet it’s also soo...
[Verse 1]
You like drinking in the park
Close your eyes and then it's dark
Like that cops and robbers game
We'll slip away
And these streets, they make you sick
Dirty men play dirty tricks
This town could make you cold as stone
[Chorus]
And every time you need me there
Yeah, I'll be changed
And you'll be bright
I'll delete the pain
You'll hit me like sun in my eyes, yeah
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
You like dancing in the rave
The drugs arе no good for our brains
Eating ice cream for the bluеs
We're good as new
Cranes, they lift things up and down
Baby, it's a changing town
You're gonna miss it when it's gone
[Chorus]
And every time you need me there
Yeah, I'll be changed
And you'll be bright
I'll delete the pain
You hit me like sun in my eyes, yeah
Yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
And I just wanna be by you
And I just wanna be by you
[Chorus]
And every time you need me there
(And I just wanna be by you)
I'll delete the pain
(And I just wanna be by you)
Yeah
[Outro]
You'll hit me like a tonne of bricks
I'll hit you like a big ol' cherry stain
You'll hit me like a morphine drip
And you'll be bright
