Lyrics for Brightly Wound as interpreted by ThreeMilesDown

Brightly Wound Lyrics
I am just wishing you were here,
so we coud walk down to the brook.
And we would throw all our leaves in,
seeing our dragon when we look.

It's happening all the time,
When I open my eyes,
I'm still taken by surprise,
You have shining eyes,
yes like those forest lights,
and it makes me want to cry.

I love you..

Chorus
I shall never grow up, Make believe is much too fun.
Can we go far away to the humming meadow, This place is so lovely.
It kind of makes me very happy.
Can we go far away to the humming meadow?

I Am just wishing you were here,
So we could walk down to the brook.
And we would throw all our leaves in,
seeing our dragon when we go.

We were walking there,
I had tangles in my hair, but you make me feel so pretty.
I hold sunlight, and swallow butterflies and it makes me want to cry.

I love you...

This song is just too beautiful. It's like a dreamy, nostalgic trip into sunlight and butterflies.

I really love this song, it has such a cheerful feel.
These lyrics also aren't correct.

It's happening all the time when I open my eyes
I'm still taken by surprise
I hold sunlight and swallow fireflies
And it makes want to cry, I love you

I shall never grow up
Make believe is much too fun
Can we go far away to the humming meadow

We were standing there and I had tangles in my hair but you make me
feel so pretty
You have shining eyes, like the forest lights and it makes me want to cry, I love you
(I am just wishing you were here so we could walk down to the brook
And we would throw all our leaves in, seeing our dragons when we look)

I shall never grow up
Make believe is much too fun
Can we go far away to the humming meadow

This place is so lovely
The kind which makes me very happy
Let's go far away to the humming meadow

during the second verse, the words weave together and I find my mouth open in awe, everytime.

i love this song because it sorta sounds like a lulabye or something. But i think it's like a child's dream of playing all the time and never wanting to grow up and take up responsibilities and just be a child always and play make-believe all day long.

this song reminds me of my boyfriend and how every time I'm with him I'm completely amazed. The chorus makes me think of how I never want to grow up, I just want to stay with him forever and ever.

Has to be my favorite Eisley song!
When I first heard it, I was in a relationship, and this song fit it perfectly. I didn't want time to progress. I didn't want to lose the special connection that we had going on. But times change, and people grow up.

I try not to get into older music, but their new CD has definitely persuaded me to look at their old stuff, and this song is simply, amazingly beautiful.

Ok.

so... uhm.

I'm kind of confused. Not about the meaning that's as clear as day and completely wonderful.

But the lyric clearly isn't "so we could walk down to the brook" it sounds more like stream or sea.

anyone have any insite on that one?

The lyrics there are wrong.


Its happening all the time
When I open my eyes
I'm still taken by surprise
I hold sunlight and swallow fireflies
And it makes me want to cry

I love you

I shall never grow up
Make believe is much to fun
Can we go far away to the humming meadow

[Sherri's singing]
We were walking there
I had tangles in my hair
But you make me feel so pretty
You have shinning eyes
Yes like those forest lights
And it makes me want to cry

[Stacy's singing at the same time]
I was just wishing you were here
So we could walk down with to me
And we could throw all our leaves in
Seeing our dragon when we look

I love you

I shall never grow up
Make believe is much to fun
Can we go far away to the humming meadow

I shall never grow up
Make believe is much to fun
This place is so lovely
It kind of makes me very happy
Lets go far away to the humming meadow

To the humming meadow

To the humming meadow

"to the brook" or "to the stream" makes more sense than "with to me".....

I like this song though. It's about... keeping that childish, imaginative part of yourself, even after you're grown up.
