Run Until It Rains

I'm going to run until it rains
You can dance until it gets dark

I'll be here for you now
One day you'll grow old
One day you can grow old with me

We used to play hide and seek in the dark
but now we swim until there's lightning

I'm going to run until it rains
You can dance until it gets dark

As we grow old I want to get younger everyday
I'm here for now
You can grow old with me

Growing taller everyday
Sometimes I like it
Sometimes I don't

Be careful of the trees
It is about to rain

I'm going to run until it rains out
You can dance until it gets dark

I'll be at the park
But I'm going to be honest
it's getting dark
winter is far away
but the darkness controls the mind

I watch people racing to red lights
just to get ahead

Sometimes I feel like there's a stranger in my head
Sometimes I feel like I'm stranger than all my friends

One day I'm gonna wake up

I'm not going to be able to run until it rains
so I race to red lights
chasing around these red and blue balloons

This rift
between my expectations and my reality
the long division leads me to believe
that leaks and losses and too much lobbying

confusion
osmosis diffusion

I just want to run until rains
Watch the water go down the drains
keep running through the aches and pains

Dance until it get dark out

watch the sun rise
and the stars collide
but still get a full night sleep
insomnia's dilemma

watch the water and the moon
live life on life's terms
life's dilemmas
life's grooves,
life's nooks,
life's crannies

Sometimes I like it
Sometimes I don't

But somedays I like to run until it's rained out
Dance until the sun comes up
Gaze beyond the first three stars

Grow old but get younger everyday

Face my fears
My fears I face

Close my eyes so I can walk in the dark
Obliviously living Oblivious in an Oblivion

Blur of life
Bluff of the past
Fluff of the Future
How quick
How fast did the day go
Where did the meter go

Playing outside
Playing in a play that I was never after
All I wanted was the love, family, friends and laughter

One day I thought I could never amount to anything
I was stuck inside the past
a past me
a past her
an idea

The idea of you is clearly fading away in figments
Leaks, Unasked questions

Confusion, Contusion, Twisting and Contorting my thoughts
Isolines in the sand, isolines in my mind
isolating all these isolating incidents that happen in a spectrum
and specieating species of new ideas and concepts
specializing in speculating on speculative and sporadically changing suspicions of superiority
but inferiority drives us

we want to be rebels
so we race until it rains
dance until its dark
fight in the forest
figure shit out after its done
set it up
knock it down

cleaning up garbage
cause you don't want to leave a mess
When I start to stress, I digress
but never regress
Cause the grass is too green
and I can look up high in the sky

and see the red and blue balloons
Floating
I wonder if the lightning will strike
I see all these people running in the rain
Barefoot

Banging around in the thunder
I wonder

I wonder
I'm just gonna run until it rains
and go inside when it thunders
I just want to escape
I do not care about the blunders

These blinders are blocking me
from the red and blue balloons
splashing down as the rain hits my pillow

But I think of a weeping willow
and I wonder if we can withstand
years of yelling and blatant manipulation

can we withstand it all
can we turn a blind eye on a brother
on a friend, on a cousin, on a lover?
a blind eye to those that do us wrong

can we make ourselves believe that what they are doing is right
but I just want to go left

and two wrongs don't make a right
but three lefts do

Sometimes i wake up and I don't want to put on a shoe
I don't want to lift a finger
I feel like I'll just hinder
so I linger

bur I just go left foot, right foot
set my feet, get up
and go

I'm living in Heaven
but so many people think this is hell
and I think you're an angel
leading me

through hell

It's the dark side that we all can abide by
It's the light that scares us the most
our eyes can't adjust
so we we wear sunglasses to protect us from the waves
we were sun tan lotion to protect us from the waves
we stand still
we stand strong
to protect us from the waves

But look at me I'm just following these red and blue balloons in the sky
I'm gonna go to the beach, I'm gonna go to the park
and I'm going to run until it rains.
So I can dance until it gets dark out
Keep on running until the sun comes up
