Been working on this for quite a while, would love some feedback on the lyrics. I feel like it needs a bridge but don't really know what to write for one :/

Wake up, look outside
It's a sunny day
Nothing much to do
But that's okay
We can lie in the sun
Close our eyes, drift along
To the soft summer breeze
We're so easy to please

(Chorus)
Oh, today's been a good day
Oh, today's been a good day
Oh, today's been a good day
And it's only just begun

Wake up, look outside
It's a rainy day
Nothing much to do
But that's okay
We can sleep in all day
Stay inside, watch the rain
See if we can find
Two raindrops the same

Wake up, look outside
It's another day
Nothing much to do
But that's okay
Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall
Seen one you've seen them all
Just another waste of time
Now the sunset's arrived
Was a snowman in a past life

I really like how all the verses start with same line, good idea. I like it as a whole. I don't if it would be too short if you put it to music so I'd think about that but I really like what ou have so far.

I agree with BooBoo on the lines, but not so much the length. I imagine the song to be around the same length as 'Howl' by Gaslight, a song that proves it's not the width of a song, but the depth.

This song also follows the style I love, that is gradually darkening but remaining upbeat in the face of it. I'm not sure if that's how you intended or how I imagined it, but it works well :D
