• You're a beautiful kid with a wide, bright smile With your untamable hair and unconventional style You shine brightest in the night When you're young and alive Painting falling stars to replace the city lights Refusing to accept the scientific laws you call lies We don't ever have to shut our heavy eyes We can clap along to home made songs And scream together the home made lines We used to use to get ourselves by But now I have these lovely tunes Just like you, they sound magic and new You're causing my smiles few Keeping me from crying, too You're a brilliant kid with a wide, bright mind With your untamable dreams and unconventional rhymes You shine brightest with your classics When you're thoughtful and tragic Chasing every rainbow just after the storm Refusing to let your heart be swayed or torn We don't ever have to open our heavy lips We can walk down the sidewalk to town And laugh together like the little kids We used to be, full of happiness But now I have colorful photographs Just like you, they make me laugh You're the best friend I could have Keeping the skies from turning black You're a nice kid with a wide, bright soul With your untamable heart and unconventional words You shine brightest in the sun When you're happy and so in love Swimming in the clouds so high over the earth Refusing to hear the extent of your worth We don't ever have to hide our heavy hearts We can sit alone in your empty home And talk together about our lives so far We used to wish on the early stars But now I have late rides in your car Just like you, they do their part You're healing my bruises and scars Keeping safe my lonely heart I'm a naive kid with a wide, bright hope With my untamable tongue and unconventional clothes I shine brightest next to you When I smile and tell the truth Conversing with myself in verse and rhyme Refusing to let you realize I'm not worth your time We don't ever have to tell our heavy pasts We can lay our heads against your unmade bed And stare together till we can see through these masks We used to be shy, but we got over that Because now I have this kid next to me Just like you, he's seventeen With a wide, bright smile, mind, and soul Keeping my life in cruise control
