Lyrics

Lookin' out my window, sun shinin' bright

Reflecting on the bright and sunny view outside the window.

Birds singin', tryin' to make things right

Noticing birds singing, attempting to bring positivity.

I've got good music on my radio

Enjoying good music on the radio.

How did your love songs play from those doors?

Wondering how love songs play after the departure of a loved one.


I don't want no one to come in to catch me sigh

Expressing a desire for privacy and not wanting others to witness sadness.

But every since you left, said goodbye

Somethin' 'bout your kiss, gloom all around me

Seem like love is never gonna find me

I keep on looking for a, a brighter day

Continuously searching for a brighter and happier future.

When all I see is time slipping away
