Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You talk so softly
And I close my eyes
And when I try to fall asleep, which sure ain't easy
Your voice in my head is so strong
Playin' through my mind like my favorite song
You're my favorite reason
I stay awake at night
And put it on the line
You got this way about you
You make me come alive
And when I close my eyes
It's still bright
I think what we got goin' is
Goin' somewhere good
All these things that I've tried but can't make sense inside me
To you are understood
And you say things like you mean them
You are strong and sincere
Life has more color when you're near
You're my favorite reason
I stay awake at night
You make me want to risk it all
And put it on the line
You got this way about you
You make me come alive
And when I close my eyes
It's still bright
Bright
Like the blue in your eyes
Like the tippy-top of the sunrise
Bright like sumertime sky
Fourth of July
Bright like every moment by your side
Your my favorite reason
I stay awake at night
You make me want to risk it all
You got this way about you
You make me come alive
And when I close my eyes
When I close my eyes
Oh
When I close my eyes
It's still bright
