Bright Lights

(album: Laps Around The Sun - 2018)

I feel change coming
The wind's been swinging around
I feel the wind beckoning
Me, to come along now
Before I get too lost in it all

And I don't want bright lights to be the
The first thing I see when I wake up
And I don't want bright lights to be
Coming from my screen with pretty pictures and makeup
And I don't want bright lights to be
The things that I've bought and what I've sold
Adventure here we come

I need to stop being busy way too often
And working late too much
Drawing my own lines just to cross them
Letting myself down, setting myself up
I need to do what's right by me
There is places I want to explore
Without my head ruling my heartbeat
Getting lost in it all

And I don't want bright lights to be the
The first thing I see when I wake up
And I don't want bright lights to be
Coming from my screen with pretty pictures and makeup
And I don't want bright lights to be
The things that I've bought and what I've sold
Adventure here we come

But it takes time for flowers to grow
For embers to heat in a campfire
And there's no point planting seeds to sow
If the heat you are willing to yield you can only admire

And it takes time for flowers to grow
And a mountain to climb if you want to go higher
And there's no point planting seeds to sow
If the stillness that you want to feel you can only admire
If you get too lost in it all

And I don't want bright lights to be the
The first thing I see when I wake up
And I don't want bright lights to be
Coming from my screen with pretty pictures and makeup
And I don't want bright lights to be
The things that I've bought and what I've sold

And I want bright lights to be the
Morning sun when I wake up
And I want bright lights to be
Road trips and love songs
And things that make your heart strong
And I don't want bright lights to be
The things that I've bought and what I've sold
Adventure here we come
Adventure here we come
