about

The first track written for the album, this one almost wound up on the Book of Prime! But it turned into the equivalent of a title track for Café des Rêves.

lyrics

I woke up yesterday, heart and my hands and devil in my brain
I shook off all my shame, the hardest part of starting over's learning a new game

Blink twice and you'll flush away all the secrets in your tears
Think twice and you'll clear a way, a journey from your fears
My purpose is my home, and I've never been less along

I saw you yesterday, you changed your hair, you changed your voice but the feeling's still the same
It's been so long and been so hard a road, you'll look back and realize you've lost everything you know

Wink twice if you're feeling brave and if luck is on your side
Think twice about moving on when the Green Scarf's on your mind
Ambition is my home, and I've never been less alone

Welcome to the Brightside, where no one lives or dies
You're feeling empty, well then open up your mind
Just take a sip and sit back, watch that open door
You won't believe the people you'll learn to adore

It's not your energy that amplifies the weather
It's the feeling in the room when we're together

Welcome to the Brightside, where no one lives or dies
You're feeling empty, well then open up your mind
Just take a sip and sit back, watch that open door
You won't believe the people you'll learn to adore
