By the way when you're not around the sky turns grey And the clouds fill up with rain And the sun won't show her face And my chest aches with a dull and constant pain So I wait and wait and wait for you To pull me from this state You make everything brighter It's so much brighter when you're around You make it brighter It's so much brighter when you're around And when you're near the sky is shining neon From earth to the great beyond Your light travels on and on And my body soars over tree and mountaintop I'll follow you without a thought Anywhere that you go You make everything brighter It's so much brighter when you're around You make it brighter It's so much brighter when you're around And even when I'm covered up with dirt You could brush it off and make me work Straighten up my tie and pull me out So keep going 'til you get what you want What you want You make everything brighter It's so much brighter when you're around You make it brighter It's so much brighter when you're around You make everything brighter It's so much brighter when you're around You make it brighter It's so much brighter when you're around
