Bright Outside

Gonna pour us both tall drinks
I don’t care what anyone thinks
Later, we’ll have plenty of time to slumber
You’re restless, and I know why
Let’s just go look at the sky
Remember, it’s the first day of summer

Stand by my side
As you try to decide
Baby, you might be surprised
That it’s still bright outside

I know the wind’s pickin’ up
And those leaves keep fallin’ in our cup
Later we’ll make fun of them all
You’re tired, and I know why
Sometimes it’s hard to still try
Remember, it’s the first night of fall

Sit by my side
I know what that smirk implied
There’s torches lit along the hayride
And it’s still bright outside

The night takes its cue from the day
The sight fades as we move away
The fight ends when we’ve fully grown
But the light has a mind of its own
Yea, the light has a mind of its own

I know it’s frozen out there
And maybe it ain’t so warm in here
Let’s watch the fire ‘till it splinters
I’m hurting and you know why
Everyone who lives, one day dies
Remember, it’s the first night of winter

Lay by my side
It’s been a wonderful ride
Moonlight on the snowy hillside
And, don’tcha know
It’s still bright outside
