Brighton Lyrics

Thank god I’m not as crazy as I thought
I still can differ what’s sweet and what’s not
I feel like I am lucky in most cases more than not
It’s such a shame I‘m drawn to think there’s something that is awfully wrong

But if the things I’m worrying turns out
To be the things I should be thanking now
Well isn’t it a waste of time to think through every fault
I better just lay back and watch as comedy or tragedy unwind

Let it be done
I don’t mind
I don’t mind, I don’t mind, I don’t mind

Walking around artsy Brighton-town
Where I expect inspirations to be found
And though the green of life is ripe I can still feel these walls
Or maybe it’s just me that’s really falling to a steady hole

And if to be close to where you are
Is the reason I am singing this song now
Then forgive my longing cause it’s there to stay at least forever
You can only pray for my well being or for anyone to open up my eyes

Let her shine
You’re too bright
You make everyone else look dark
For years now
I’m alive
In an emptiness I cannot define

Oh my god
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Open the new paradigm

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
