The Brighter Side of Things
Jim Johnston

Words and music: jim johnston

We've spent some time together, and I was sure I'd have to hide.

Afraid that you'd discover my darker side.

Cause there's a difference between what I say and I do

Sometimes I change just like the weather, I'm off in some bizarre direction.

I was afraid of the consequence if you knew it'd mean we could not stay together,

Then I'd be done.

Stop trying to win over my heart - you're already there.

I'm scared that someone may light my fuse. do you know that you're my inspiration?

And I'm frightened by this new sensation.

We've only begun, but when it all gets said and done

I think I could love someone by looking on the brighter side of things.

I've had some dreams turn hard on me, I've been haunted by some bad decisions.

But I would never do something to make you feel that we were not meant for each other,

Please know that you're my only vision.

To be the queen of my heart reach out your hand - and I will be there.

Love ain't something you simply just get through.

I'm grateful for your disposition when I'm blinded by my superstitions.

There's no where to run, but when it all gets said and done

I can't just love anyone, but you've seen through the darker side of me.

We've only begun, but when it all gets said and done

I think I could love someone, by looking on the brighter side of things.

Oh I need your faith. what you see is what you think,

What you don't know, is you're running with a one man freak show,

I can't do better, you couldn't do worse.

I'm all grown up kind of, in reverse,

But I would never do something to make you feel that we were not meant for each other,

Please know that you're my only vision.

I'm scared someday I might push you off the edge, I'm already there.

But love is something that just might see me through.

Do you know that you're my inspiration? - why doesn't take imagination.

There's no where to run, but when it all gets said and done,

I might just love someone, by looking on the brighter side of things.

We've only begun, but when it all gets said and done,

You still could love me some, by looking on the brighter side of things.

I tried to warn you about me still you're always there,

Looking on the brighter side of things.
