Bigger, Brighter

Bigger, Brighter

Lyrics & Music by Steven Jackson & Brighter Things

 

What if there's no - magic at all
Tucked in the bottom of little boys' pockets
dreamin' up new kinds of rockets that never will fall

And what if summer - was nothin; but a tilt of the worl
Without all its sunburns and long legs and water
screamin' and whispering softer in the ears of a girl

engines a'blazing, this light that makes everything

Bigger, brighter, too hard to figure out
Bigger, brighter than the world

Hold out your hand - let me check your lifelines against mine
There's old age and car wrecks and lions and sickness
and breathin' between heartbreak and kisses in a race, against time

runnin' and restless, is one way to beat this

Bigger, brighter, too hard to figure out
Bigger, brighter than the world

Can it feel - - like uncovering summer  -- back when I was still young
With the wheels that could take me to places I never even knew I'd gone from
And we used to believe in  these things we can't see  --  Baby I can't see nothin' at all .....
in the dark here with you, there's magic and truth and God and a crystal ball

And its bigger, brighter, too hard to figure out
Bigger, brighter too hard, it's too hard
It's bigger brighter too hard ................

It's bigger brighter, and it's warmer ain't it warmer just standin' in the light there
Bigger, brighter - you were born in the monrnin' and just opened up your eyes clear
Bigger, brighter - don't forget to hold me when we're headed for the night dear
Don't forget to hold me, don't forget to hold me, don't forget to hold me when we're headed for the night dear.
