[Verse 1]
Everything is heightened now
It's looking so much brighter now
I was lost and now I'm found
Fell off the merry-go-round
I was into politics
Obsessed with things I couldn't fix
Kissing bigger with a fist
Addicted to the thrill of it

[Pre-Chorus]
And with these
Colors fading, people changing feelings
Faking some kind of love
A different flavor, seek the danger
Feel new life rush into my blood
Illuminated, never shaded
See the future when I look in the sky
When I look in the sky
You give me, you give me

[Chorus]
The brightest blue (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
The brightest blue (Ooh)
Tonight (Ooh, ooh)
Give me the brightest blue (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
The brightest blue (Ooh)
So bright (Ooh, ooh)

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]
There's no blue in the odyssey
Even in the calmest seas
Now it's all I wanna be
A semi-precious mystery
Yeah, I love me more than you
Doesn't mean I can't be true
Slip into the blue lagoons
I could be your muse

[Pre-Chorus]
Times are hard, people scarred
We don't know if we're gonna fight
Break a heart, play the card
We just came along for the ride
But in the dark, you're the spark
See the future when I look in your eyes
'Cause you've given me
You give me, you give me

[Chorus]
The brightest blue (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
The brightest blue (Ooh)
Tonight (Ooh, ooh)
Give me the brightest blue (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
The brightest blue (Ooh)
So bright (Ooh, ooh)

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

[Bridge]
Don't you worry about the future
'Cause this is the blue evolution
I don't think this love's an illusion
So let's wake up
Don't you worry about the future
'Cause this is the blue evolution
I finally see you're my greatest
You're my greatest revelation

[Chorus]
The brightest blue (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
The brightest blue (Ooh)
Tonight (Ooh, ooh)
Give me the brightest blue (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
The brightest blue (Ooh)
So bright, oh (Ooh, ooh)

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
