I was looking for a girlfriend and I didn’t know where to start
So I opened up my web browser it said first you gotta find your heart
And come to the brightness. Feel the brightness. And it’ll come to you

There was a colorful invitation to a music festival
A promise and a prayer that this life could be magical
Come to the brightness. Feel the brightness. And it’ll come to you

And there she was the most beautiful thing in the world
I knew at last I had found my most beautiful girl

I asked her for a date after getting to know her well
She liked Schrödinger’s and quantum physics, and for music she could play the bells
She said, come to the brightness. Feel the brightness. And it’ll come to you.

But what goes up, ya, most often comes down
She said she had lost her way and that there was a reckoning coming around

Soon after she left, I fell so deep, I was drowning in despair
I wandered, I roamed, so aimlessly, so angry that life wasn’t fair

Until I woke up one morning with nothing to lose, stared myself down in the glass
Being honest and true, isn’t that the key, to finding a love that lasts.

I was looking for my soulmate when my soul it told me where to start
As I opened up the door and there she was bringing me back to her heart
Come to the brightness. Feel the brightness. And it’ll come to you
Come to the brightness. Feel the brightness. And it’ll come to you
