Black Rainbows
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I woke up, but was far from home
Living a life that was not my own
Oh, oh
Places familiar but they're not the same
I have some strangers who will know my name
Oh, oh
I wait for the penny drop, hey
I'm never going to give you all my love
Black rainbows never stop, hey
I'm never going to give you all my love
Whispers the lies
The closer your eyes
The burnt part, the tides
Black rainbows for miles
Turn up the volume all the way it goes
There's only silence on the radio
Oh, oh
Woke up the songs that I used to know
I had it all but I, I let it go
Oh, oh
I wait for the penny drop, hey
I'm never going to give you all my love
Black rainbows never stop, hey
I'm never going to give you all my love
Whispers the lies
The closer your eyes
The burnt part, the tides
Black rainbows for miles
If you're part of being new love
Don't give up the blue skies
Leave the static for a new love
That's what you told me so many times
I wait for the penny drop, hey
I'm never gonna give you up my love
Dark rainbows never stop, hey
I'm never gonna give you up my love
Give it up my love
Whispers the lies
The closer your eyes
The burnt part, the tides
Black rainbows for miles
Give you up my love
Give you up my love
Give you up my love
Give you up my love
Give you up my love
Give you up my love
Give you up my love
Give you up my love
Give you up my love
