《On the Brightside》的詞曲作者是Mike Posner。以下是這首歌的詞曲：
歌詞：
第一節：
Every time I think of you, I feel a smile come alive
Life may be tough but I got the scars of a happy suicide
So take a breath, feel the beat, I'll show you how to get up
If it don't work, you ain't gotta try, but at least you're on the brightside
副歌：
It's okay to be down, cause on the other side
The sun will shine brightly too, there's another side to every story
Life is good, take your time, find the rainbow
And when you get lost, just keep your head up high
第二節：
There's no pain like shattered dreams, if you don't let them beat you up
If you're down and out then look up and I guarantee you'll see the light up above
You may have lost the game, but now you're feeling fine
You're feeling like a million bucks, on the brightside
副歌：
It's okay to be down, cause on the other side
The sun will shine brightly too, there's another side to every story
Life is good, take your time, find the rainbow
And when you get lost, just keep your head up high
橋段：
Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get
So don't cry over spilled milk, it might as well be yogurt
Every cloud has a silver lining, don't cry about your lemons
Take them and make lemonade, that's the spirit on the brightside
第三節：
當你感覺迷失，就仰望天空，因為總會有一道光照亮你前行的路
生命就像一場精彩的比賽，總會有低谷也會有高峰，重要的是你怎么去看待它
如果你跌倒了，不要灰心，站起來繼續前行，因為生活總有另一片天。
副歌：
It's okay to be down, cause on the other side
The sun will shine brightly too, there's another side to every story
Life is good, take your time, find the rainbow
On the brightside...oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...there's sunshine.
以上就是《On the Brightside》的歌詞，這首歌以樂觀積極的態度告訴人們無論遭遇何種困難，都應積極面對，因為總有希望在前方。
