lyrics

Bright Ideas by District 8

A little problem but you can't put a finger on it
You wonder why but you don't want to linger on it
You ran away but you couldn't find a hiding place
Something wiped the smile off your happy face

Working a mystery
Of another opportunity
Wasted, wasted, you tasted
A little victory
A moment of defeat and you
Faced it, you faced it, erased it
And started over again

Wrong call and you all fall to pieces
Like so many coins down the creases
Next big thing just got a little old
Hot pursuit till the trail went cold

Another day goes by
Now it's all you can do
To save it, save it, you gave it
Yet another try
Never could let it lie

When you had another one of your bright ideas
You had another one of your bright ideas
You had another one of your bright ideas

Taken you so long
Looks like you're gonna to have to
Face it, face it, erase it
Now that you know what's wrong
Turning the light back on

'Cause you had another one of your bright ideas
You had another one of your bright ideas
You had another one of your bright ideas
