Whenever I collapse 
Whenever I fold in your arms 
That's when I know I'm holding you 
Holding you 
Within my grasp 
Whenever I feel trapped 
Held by the inescapable 
I try to put my mind at ease 
Protect the heart worn on my sleeve 
That's when I feel brand new 
I'm looking on the bright side 
I've got my visuals 
I'm looking on the bright side 
My 20-20's true 
I'm looking on the bright side 
That's when I know it's you 
Whenever I'm in red 
A guardian angel's flying round my head 

I feel your touch 
Warm as red's 
Embarrassment innocence blush 
That's when I feel brand new 

I'm looking on the bright side 
I've got my visuals 
I'm looking on the bright side 
My 20-20's true 

I'm looking on the bright side 
That's when I know it's you 
Whenever I'm in bed 
I see myself in wide-screen love scene 

Close-up 
I'm holding you, holding you 
We're wrapped in blue 
I'm looking on the bright side 

I'm looking on the bright side
