The sun comes up
And i'm filled with sadness
Even here in your arms,
where i seem to fit perfectly,
there is something missing
Rainbows dance on my walls
I can't discern them from the shadows
And i wonder if i ever will
I keep thinking about tomorrow
what should be a perfectly happy friday
will be one of the toughest days of my life
all morning, i'll feel my legs tremble
knowing that at some point during my day,
back into my life will walk justin
acting like nothing was ever wrong
8 months later,
i finally think i'm ok without you justin
and you still havent sent in a change of address form?
you'll walk into the restaurant like you own the place,
wearing your designer clothes
smelling like some designer cologne
you'll charm me with that smile
and you'll take my heart back to 8 months ago,
right where you stepped on it
you'll make me tear my eyes away
and all the words i had planned to say to you
will invert themselves
i'll forget my heart
and for the only hour i see you in months,
you will have me wrapped around your finger
(i hate this)
laying in this stranger's arms
that's all i can think about
with rainbows dancing on my walls
intertwined with shadows
he's the color,
and you're the dark
and still you win
this boy, next to me
gave me a night i can look back and smile at
i run my fingers along his cheek
and think what it would be like to be his
his only
but his talks of moving to Florida
remind me we can never be...
but what if,
for a short time
we can pull it off?
is there anything in your eyes for me?
am i just a girl
a nameless blond
the girl that wears glitter
and colors in coloring books
with a Pikachu backpack hanging from her lightswitch
and butterflies hanging from the ceiling?
when you look back on this night,
will you see a girl you adore
or will you just see the rainbows
i'd like to think you see me
a candle burns out
the room is filled with strawberry cream
and a quietness that is chilling
no answers come to these two,
a girl lying awake trying to figure out her head
a boy sleeping soundly dreaming of... Florida?...me?
justin's name dances through my heart
i feel warm next to this stranger
mixed emotions
tears and smiles
rainbows and shadows
i cant help falling for you,
even though i told myself i wouldn't,
couldn't.
you give me hope
that i will find love again
and that i can be happy
in this room,
i have you both,
in a different way
and i dont know what to do with either one of you
tomorrow i will have to face you both,
in the restaurant:
one of you at my table,
one of you at my back, watching
i will have to choose my words
with a care i dont have a knack for
someone's heart will break...
maybe his, maybe justin's, maybe mine
Tomorrow will be a day i cant avoid
and i will have to decide
whether i'm going to play with the rainbows,
or live in the shadows,
but i cant have both
rainbows and shadows dont belong together
rainbows like the sun
and shadows live in the past
here in this room
i pray that sleep will come to me
in the arms of this stranger,
who holds me tight
the clock blinks 8:30
and while i try to decide where my dreams will take me,
the sun peaks behind my curtains,
and gives me what i hope
is a sign...
rainbows today.
