Brighter Lyrics by Jasmine Cephas Jones

Phoenix

2024

[Verse 1: Jasmine Cephas Jones]
Since the day I heard you say my name
Since the day I let you meet my momma
Ain't a thing about you I would change
I'd be cryin' if I ever lost ya

You can try to shake me but I'm stuck on you babe
Even when our backs' against the ropes
You don't have to worry cause I gotcha

[Pre-Chorus]
There are words I could say
And there are games you could play

[Chorus]
But I swear you might
Be better than when I found ya
Left it all behind
I'm worse off without ya
I know I'd be fine
But I'm better around ya
Cause I swear you're my light
And ya just gеt brighter each time

[Verse 2: Kevin Garett]
And it feels likе we are always movin' up
Even when we're running round' in circles
You're my energy the coffee in my cup
The only thing that gets me through this circus

You're every feeling wrapped in one
The kind of love I can't give up
Can't believe you got me living in a dream
I keep waiting to wake up, I don't deserve ya

[Pre-Chorus]
There are words I could say
And there are games you could play

[Chorus: Jasmine Cephas Jones and Kevin Garrett]
But I swear you might
Be better than when I found ya
Left it all behind
I'm worse off without ya
I know I'd be fine
But I'm better around ya
Cause I swear you're my light
And ya just get brighter each time

[Bridge: Jasmine Cephas Jones and Kevin Garrett]
Lift me up while while ya holdin' it down
And now you got me actin' up
Keep takin' me higher but I'm losing count
Cause baby your loves' distracting me now

Lift me up while while ya holdin' it down
And now you got me actin' up
Keep takin' me higher but I'm losing count
Cause baby your loves' distracting me now

[Chorus: Jasmine Cephas Jones and Kevin Garrett]
But I swear you might
Be better than when I found ya
Left it all behind
I'm worse off without ya
I know I'd be fine
But I'm better around ya
Cause I swear you're my light
And ya just get brighter each time
