Me and You 03:41
We'll split the earth, part the sea Scale the mountains like they're nothing We'll take a breath, count to three Leave this whole damn place behind The miles will fly beneath our feet And we'll never tire of running I'll take your hand in my own No, I've never felt so sure. I swear. I swear. We run away No shame We'll find a place Where no one tries to hurt you We run away No shame We'll be Me and you. We'll catch a break around the bend Can't you see the sun is rising? A heart too cold to comprehend Hanging way up in the sky Another moon, another you Looks up at me from a body Behind the eyes of something new The soul I love is trapped inside. I know. I know. We run away No shame We'll find a place Where no one tries to hurt you We run away No shame We'll be Me and you. I've made mistakes For which you've paid It's my turn now To bring it back around We run away No shame We'll find a place Where no one tries to hurt you We run away No shame We'll be Me and you, We'll be Me and you.

The silver white light shows secrets On your eyes The branches are bare as you cut me down To size That storm keeps its distance The air catches our breath Sooner or later There will be nothing left Spend a little time with Spend a little time with Spend a little time with me But don't waste your time on Don't waste your time on Don't waste your time on me Don't waste your time on me The moonlight mingles With the sun's waning rays Bright orange longing will Cancel your melancholy greys You hear on the breeze The words that you'd never confess Only a cold Winter's night Could tell you the rest Spend a little time with Spend a little time with Spend a little time with me But don't waste your time on Don't waste your time on Don't waste your time on me Don't waste your time on me I'll push to the back of my mind Your words left unsaid Wouldn't you know it, The sun is coming up red Spend a little time with Spend a little time with Spend a little time with me But don't waste your time on Don't waste your time on Don't waste your time on me Don't waste your time on me Don't let me touch you Don't let me feel you Don't let me hold you down Don't let me stop you Don't let me stop your world From turning 'round

Our world turned to gold At the touch of your hand Washed over with something That we'll never understand We tucked you in tightly, So fragile, so new, He gave a little sigh, and said, "It had to be you." We'd read all the books We knew what to expect You made us feel perfect You were ours to protect We turned out the light As your room faded blue I saw you in his eyes, and thought, "It had to be you." It had to be you. Maybe you saw my heart break And you'll let me sing you awake If that falls through, Just know this is true: For us, it had to be you He put those worries Inside of my head We checked you by the hour, Then by the minutes instead Above you the comets And rocketships flew I watched your last breath, and thought, "It had to be you." It had to be you. Maybe you saw my heart break And you'll let me sing you awake If that falls through, Just know this is true: For us, it had to be you It had to be you. The doctors assured me That we weren't at fault, It happens sometimes, That they'd give us a call Maybe you saw my heart break And you'll let me sing you awake If that falls through, Just know this is true: For us, it had to be you Our lives turned to gold At the touch of your hand Washed over with something That we'll never understand

The point of no return Is all I see I was living life for you That’s all I could be Our future looked Brite But I guess I saw the Lite. So I’m packing up and I’m gonna Let it be It don’t matter, all the times I Pulled you through. All the rainbow-colored bridges I rode with you. Those times have come and gone And the time’s come, to move on But I’m alone, and I’m afraid I don’t know what to do. Rainbow, Rainbow Brite. Don’t you remember your friend Starlite? The Color Kids abandoned Long ago The Sprites you left to mine All on their own Now all of Rainbow Land has died, You don’t know how that feels inside. You can’t remember how I loved you so. Rainbow, Rainbow Brite Don’t you remember your friend Starlite? What am I to you, Am I your mode of transportation? Or am I Something more? Am I your steed? Am I your sidekick? Am I the source of your frustration? Or can I be the friend that you once adored? ...Rainbow Brite Don’t you remember your friend Starlite? Rainbow, Rainbow Brite Don’t you remember your friend Starlite?
