The Brilliant Things Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When sleep has taken over
You lose control
And all the world around is still
Open your mind
And see this world for its desire
If there’s nothing to fear
Why close your eyes
If you feel like you’re not old enough
Strong enough
Then just throw it to the stars
Dance if you want to sing
Like you’re nothing to lose
You’ll have the time of your life
Not caring who is watching you
'Cause everyone can believe in the silence
Is not worth fighting for
It’s too late when you realize
You should have done this before
I feel alive but I’ve been dead so many times
Lost in the device of life
If you fall you can handle it
Deal with it
But there’s nothing like the heart
Dance if you want to sing
Like you’re nothing to lose
You’ll have the time of your life
Not caring who is watching you
'Cause everyone can believe in the silence
Is not worth fighting for
It’s too late when you realize
You should have done this before
