[Somewhere_In_The_Clouds]

And at this stage it only flickers
And it leaves me feeling torn
'Cause to have it is so comforting
But it doesn't keep me warm
And I think back to the days
When it would blaze all on its own
It's such a haze in many ways
But I remember it felt like home
And I've tried to be real careful
Making sure the flame sticks around
But deep down I know well
It's better off letting it just go out

I put oil on our fire
Try to make it a little stronger
Try to make it a little brighter
Make it last just a little longer

Oh, I guess that if it has to wilt away so soon, so be it
It's sad that we had everything
But simply didn't see it
'Cause it was beautiful, y'know
Oh, it would melt the coldest snow
And it was red, and blue, and gold
And somehow it didn't show that it was fading
And now I'm trying to figure out if it's worth saving

I put oil on our fire
Try to make it a little stronger
Try to make it a little brighter
Make it last just a little longer

Oh, I guess that if it has to wilt away so soon, so be it
It's sad that we had everything
But simply didn't see it
'Cause it was beautiful, y'know
Oh, it would melt the coldest snow
And it was red, and blue, and gold
And somehow it didn't show that it was fading
And now I'm trying to figure out if it's worth saving

'Cause I put oil on our fire
Just a drop every night
Just enough to keep us on the verge
Of barely getting by

And you still act like you don't notice
And I know I should ask why
But I know exactly what you do
You sit there and you sigh
And then you make me feel like I'm the problem
And then I'd probably cry
And then you'd feel bad and say you're sorry
And then you'll say you'll try
And then we'll go 'round and around like broken records

'Cause I put oil on our fire
Just a drop every night
Just enough to keep us on the verge
Of barely getting by

And you still act like you don't notice
And I know I should ask why
But I know exactly what you do
You sit there and you sigh
And then you make me feel like I'm the problem
And then I'd probably cry
And then you'd feel bad and say you're sorry
And then you'll say you'll try
And then we'll go 'round and around like broken records

And I'll keep pouring fuel on embers
Well, hold on tight to us
When it's so obvious

That our flame is dead
But we play pretend
That we don't know
And I love you still
Maybe I always will
But I have to go

They tell you to be strong
They say this is the dark before the dawn
It won't last forever
And time heals every wound
And so you go and stand outside in the rain
Pray all things come to those who don't complain
But what are the chances
That anyone answers you?

They tell you to be strong

And time heals every wound
And so you go and stand outside in the rain
Pray all things come to those who don't complain
But what are the chances
That anyone answers you?

And you can feed it like a blossoming tree
Or you can treat it like another impossibility
But maybe you're wrong
Maybe life goes on
Maybe it's not quite the time

Wait for the rainbow, baby

 

[Luckyhen006]

And you can feed it like a blossoming tree
Or you can treat it like another impossibility
But maybe you're wrong
Maybe life goes on
Maybe it's not quite the time

Wait for the rainbow, baby

And hope always remains
But shrouded as it is
In labor pains
It's hard to reveal it
And harder to feel it move
And if it honestly sings out like a bird
It must sound like a song you've rarely heard
It's nothing but silence
It's like someone lied to you

 

[Luckyhen006]

And hope always remains
But shrouded as it is
In labor pains
It's hard to reveal it
And harder to feel it move
And if it honestly sings out like a bird
It must sound like a song you've rarely heard
It's nothing but silence
It's like someone lied to you

And if you feed it like a blossoming tree
Like every seed is both a prayer and a possibility
It shouldn't be long
'Til you hear the song
And realize you'll survive
Wait for the rainbow, baby

 

[Luckyhen006]

And if you feed it like a blossoming tree
Like every seed is both a prayer and a possibility
It shouldn't be long
'Til you hear the song
And realize you'll survive
Wait for the rainbow, baby

And you can wear the albatross and believe
That people stare because they notice the cross you're carrying
You've made it a part of your breaking heart
But you can leave it behind
Wait for the rainbow, baby

 

[Luckyhen006]

And you can wear the albatross and believe
That people stare because they notice the cross you're carrying
You've made it a part of your breaking heart
But you can leave it behind
Wait for the rainbow, baby

And every storm is bound to come to an end
Isn't it obvious the sun only sets to rise again?
And you'll be surprised when you see the sky
Why don't you open your eyes?
Look at the rainbow, baby

 

[Luckyhen006]

I've heard 'em say before to live just like you're dying, yeah
Wish I could say that's how I am, but I'd be lying, yeah
Lying in my bed at night, on one too many times, I'm thinking
"What if? What if?"
