Brighter Days
Jimmy Wayne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So the telephone keeps on ringing
That don't mean there's nobody there
If you want to just go on dreaming
When you wake up I'll be waiting here

So what's the story, morning glory?
Don't let some stranger go and ruin your week
It's not that bad, you already have
More love than you'll ever need

Sooner or later the cloud's gonna break
Sun's gonna shine down on me and you
Don't worry about the thunder, we'll just run for cover
And stay there until it's through

So come on, hide away, as long as it takes
Just hold on, hold on, hold on
Keep holding on, and on, and on
For brighter days

It's the sign of the change of the season
When birds, they start to flying away
Think it's time you and I should be leaving
So hurry, let's get out of the rain

Don't be crying, sweet dandelion
Just let the wind take you wherever it blows
And don't be scared I'll be waiting there
No matter how far you go

Sooner or later the cloud's gonna break
Sun's gonna shine down on me and you
Don't worry about the thunder, we'll just run for cover
And stay there until it's through

So come on, hide away, as long as it takes
Just hold on, hold on, hold on
Keep holding on, and on, and on
For brighter days

Sooner or later the cloud's gonna break
Sun's gonna shine down on me and you
Don't worry about the thunder, we'll just run for cover
And stay there until it's through

So come on, hide away, as long as it takes
Just hold on, hold on, hold on




Keep holding on, and on, and on
For brighter days, brighter days

Line by Line Meaning

So the telephone keeps on ringing
Despite the constant interruptions of life (symbolized by the ringing phone), don't assume that the person you're trying to reach isn't there for you


That don't mean there's nobody there
Just because your efforts to connect with someone are met with silence or delay, it doesn't mean they aren't available or willing to respond


If you want to just go on dreaming
If you prefer to remain in a fantasy world and ignore reality, then go ahead and dream


When you wake up I'll be waiting here
When you're ready to face the truth and move forward, I'll be here to support you no matter what


So what's the story, morning glory?
What's going on in your life, my dear? Let's talk about what's troubling you


Don't let some stranger go and ruin your week
Don't allow a brief encounter with a stranger (or anyone, really) to negatively impact your entire week


It's not that bad, you already have
Things aren't as dire as they seem; you already possess an abundance of love and support from those who care about you


More love than you'll ever need
There's an infinite supply of love available to you, so don't worry about running out

Things are going to get better; hope is on the horizon

We'll find a way to protect ourselves from the scary, noisy parts of life


And stay there until it's through
We're in this together and will ride out the storm until it passes

If you need some time to yourself, that's okay; I'll be here when you're ready to emerge


Just hold on, hold on, hold on
Don't let go; keep persevering through the tough times


Keep holding on, and on, and on
Stay strong and keep fighting for what you believe in


For brighter days
Better times are ahead; just have faith and keep moving forward


It's the sign of the change of the season
Just as migratory birds fly south for the winter, it's time for us to leave behind what no longer serves us and make a change


When birds, they start to flying away
Nature is a powerful symbol of change; when the birds start migrating, it reminds us to embrace the changes in our own lives


Think it's time you and I should be leaving
It's time for us to move on and leave behind the things that are holding us back


So hurry, let's get out of the rain
Let's not waste any more time in the storm; let's move quickly toward our goals


Don't be crying, sweet dandelion
Even in times of hardship, there's beauty to be found; don't be sad, my dear


Just let the wind take you wherever it blows
Sometimes it's best to go with the flow and let life take you in unexpected directions


And don't be scared I'll be waiting there
No matter where life takes you, know that I'll be there to support you


No matter how far you go
Even if we're separated by distance, my love for you will still endure


Keep holding on, and on, and on
Keep fighting for what you believe in, no matter how tough things get


For brighter days, brighter days
Ultimately, there's always hope for a better tomorrow; keep chasing after the light
