Second Glance - Brighter Days Lyrics

I remember the scene on that day
We played State Champs and drove away
With the past in the rearview mirror
I looked at you and saw my future
We drove away to our first stop
Where we talked and talked and laughed a lot
I know it sounds cliché (But I swear)
I wouldn't have it any other way
I felt my heart for the first time in a long time
She's got a smile like summer
She's warm and so tender
Eyes so hopeful they help me remember
Life is full of brighter days
These memories are here to stay
I had to be a wreck and f*ck things up
But my mom thinks I'm just down on my luck
This will be the price I pay
To hold on for some brighter days
Brighter Days
We tried to pump the brakes before it was too late
I couldn't fix the mistakes; bit off more than we could take
As the pieces fell apart
We lost the love from our heart
My heart sunk for the first time in a long time
She's got a smile like summer
She's warm and so tender
Eyes so hopeful they help me remember
Life is full of brighter days
These memories are here to stay
I had to be a wreck and f*ck things up
But my mom thinks I'm just down on my luck
This will be the price I pay
To hold on for some brighter days
I always remember the pain
That I felt on that day
And no the words couldn't pour out of me
But if you have a moment now there's something I need to say
I'm so sorry I'm a wreck
So long I wish you all the best
But you don't have a goddamn clue
How much I loved you
And that's the reason
I saw her leaving
She's got a smile like summer
She's warm and so tender
Eyes so hopeful they help me remember
Life is full of brighter days
These memories are here to stay
I had to be a wreck and f*ck things up
But my mom thinks I'm just down on my luck
This will be the price I pay
To hold on for some brighter days
We'll hold on for Brighter Days
