Brighter Than the Sun Lyrics
Stop me on the corner
I swear you hit me like a vision
I, I, I wasn't expecting
But who am I to tell fate where it's supposed to go with it?
Don't you blink, you might miss it
See we got a right to just love it or leave it
You find it and keep it
Cause it ain't every day you get the chance to say
Oh, this is how it starts, lighting strikes the heart
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
Oh, it could be the stars, falling from the sky
Shining how we want, brighter than the sun
I never seen it, but I found this love I'm undefeated
You better leave, I'm... better than anything I've ever had
Cause you're so damn beautiful, read it
It's time to deliver it, let's seal it
Boy we go together like peanuts and paydays, and molly and reggae
And it ain't every day you get the chance to say
Oh, this is how it starts, lighting strikes the heart
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
Oh, it could be the stars, falling from the sky
Shining how we want, brighter than the sun
Everything is like a way out, cause we... shine down
Even when the light's out but I can see you glow
Got my head up in the rafters, got me happy ever after
Never felt this way before, ain't... this way before
I swear you hit me like a vision
I, I, I wasn't expecting
But who am I to tell fate where it's supposed to go with it?
Oh, this is how it starts, lighting strikes the heart
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
Oh, it could be the stars, falling from the sky
Shining how we want, brighter than the sun, yeah
Oh, this is how it starts, lighting strikes the heart
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
Oh, this is how it starts, lighting strikes the heart
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
Oh, this is how it starts, lighting strikes the heart
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
Oh, this is how it starts, lighting strikes the heart
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
Brighter than the sun
I swear you hit me like a vision
I, I, I wasn't expecting
But who am I to tell fate where it's supposed to go with it?
Don't you blink, you might miss it
See we got a right to just love it or leave it
You find it and keep it
Cause it ain't every day you get the chance to say
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
Oh, it could be the stars, falling from the sky
Shining how we want, brighter than the sun
You better leave, I'm... better than anything I've ever had
Cause you're so damn beautiful, read it
It's time to deliver it, let's seal it
Boy we go together like peanuts and paydays, and molly and reggae
And it ain't every day you get the chance to say
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
Oh, it could be the stars, falling from the sky
Shining how we want, brighter than the sun
Even when the light's out but I can see you glow
Got my head up in the rafters, got me happy ever after
Never felt this way before, ain't... this way before
I, I, I wasn't expecting
But who am I to tell fate where it's supposed to go with it?
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
Oh, it could be the stars, falling from the sky
Shining how we want, brighter than the sun, yeah
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
Oh, this is how it starts, lighting strikes the heart
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
Oh, this is how it starts, lighting strikes the heart
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
Oh, this is how it starts, lighting strikes the heart
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
Brighter than the sun

This is such an "up" song. :) Puts me in a great mood no matter what.
I love the line "Boy,we go together like peanuts and pay days and Marley and reggae". I see the lead singer for Onerepublic co=wrote it.

Correction: Chorus; "Oh, this is how it starts, lighting strikes the heart It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun Oh, we could be the stars, falling from the sky Shining how we want, brighter than the sun"
Second verse: "I never seen it, but I found this love I'm gonna feed. You better believe I'm going to treat it better than anything I've ever had Cause you're so damn beautiful Read it, it's signed and delivered, let's seal it Boy we go together like peanuts and paydays, Marley and reggae And everybody needs to get a chance to say"
(The errors in this verse bug me more than any others. Who the hell is Molly? Maybe if it was a Beatles Ob-La-Di reference, but Marley is a much more obvious reference. And signed, sealed and delivered is another musical reference. And if it was "you better leave" instead of "you better believe I'm going to treat it..." it would contradict the entire song. Sorry. I'm just a bit nit picky at the moment. I do like the pop culture references in the song.)
Bridge: "Everything is like a white out, cause we shaka-shaka-shine down Even when the when the light's out but I can see you glow Got my head up in the rafters, got me happy ever after Never felt this way before, ain't felt this way before
I swear you hit me like a vision I, I, I wasn't expecting But who am I to tell fate where it's supposed to go?"
And of course, I'm open to the fact that I might've gotten something wrong myself.
Molly is a pure form of MDMA (ecstasy). Increases the amount of Dopamine produced in your brain (what makes you soo relaxed when your sleeping). It's pretty great. Some people like to listen to Reggae because its nice and relaxing.

I guess I could see that, but Colbie seems more like one for mainstream references.

You can't listen to this song and frown at the same time. Colbie Calliat's voice is brighter than the sun. :)
I haven't spoken with my best friend in quite some time but I hope he's happy and looking forward to things. I hope he knows that I'm looking forward, looking forward to the coming days and weeks. I wish I could offer him more love and support, hopefully he has plenty.
