Bright Side Lyrics

I'm watching the days go by, whoa, oh
And I'm watching them fall like flies
I'm counting the days go, go, go, go
And it's making me wonder why

Alright, oh yeah
Alright, alright, oh yeah

Yeah, I'm watching the students drop like flies
From the library
Yeah, I'm watching them take their only lives
Begging to be free

Alright, oh yeah
Alright, alright, oh yeah

I'm sleepwalking through my days and nights
Everywhere I go
I'm fighting a series of losing fights
And everybody knows

Alright, oh yeah
Alright, alright, oh yeah

Yeah, I'm watching the days go by, whoa, oh
And I'm watching them fall like flies
I'm counting the days go, go, go, go
And it's making me wanna cry

Alright, oh yeah
Alright, alright, alright, oh yeah

And I'm trying to see the bright side
I'm trying to see the bright side
Yeah, I'm trying to see the bright side
Yeah, I'm trying to see the bright side
Oh, oh, yeah

Alright, alright, oh yeah
Alright, alright, alright, oh yeah

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
