Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left your red scarf on the kitchen chair I found it while the kettle filled the air A little note beside the grocery list Said, “Take the long way home—I’ll be there” I crossed the avenue where vendors call Bought two sweet oranges, one for us all The afternoon was leaning gold and slow And every mile felt like a promise kept [Pre-Chorus] When the day gets heavy on your shoulders I know a place where we can set it down Your hand in mine, the whole world turning Like we found our way without a map [Chorus] Bring your heart to the bright side Come on, meet me where the blue sky opens wide We can make a little room for tomorrow Leave the worry at the corner behind Bring your heart to the bright side I’ll be right here when the long road winds If the whole world changes its mind We’ll keep choosing the bright side [Verse 2] Your brother called from a town across the sea Said the old house still smells like rosemary You laughed and told him we would visit soon Then saved his voice note just for me We made a table out of two small crates Shared one cold drink while we talked till late No perfect ending, no grand design Just your shoulder resting next to mine [Pre-Chorus] When the day gets heavy on your shoulders I know a place where we can set it down Your hand in mine, the whole world turning Like we found our way without a map [Chorus] Bring your heart to the bright side Come on, meet me where the blue sky opens wide We can make a little room for tomorrow Leave the worry at the corner behind Bring your heart to the bright side I’ll be right here when the long road winds If the whole world changes its mind We’ll keep choosing the bright side [Bridge] Not every door will open when we knock Not every season gives us what we want But you and I can build from what is left A steady flame, a place to catch our breath [Final Chorus] Bring your heart to the bright side Come on, meet me where the blue sky opens wide We can make a little room for tomorrow Leave the worry at the corner behind Bring your heart to the bright side I’ll be right here when the long road winds If the whole world changes its mind We’ll keep choosing, keep choosing the bright side [Outro] Your red scarf dancing from the passenger side Two sweet oranges and a little more time Bring your heart, bring your heart We’ll keep choosing the bright side
