Rainbow Veins

Yesterday's song: "Rainbow Veins" by Owl City (2008). 

High rise, veins of the avenue,
Bright eyes, and subtle variations of blue,
Everywhere is balanced there like a rainbow above you. 
Street lights glisten on the boulevard
And cold nights make staying alert so hard. 
For heaven's sake, keep me awake so I won't be caught off-guard. 
Clearly I am a passerby but I'll find a place to stay.
Dear pacific day, won't you take me away? 

Small town hearts of the New Year
Brought down by gravity, crystal clear. 
City fog and and brave dialogue converge on the frontier
Make haste, I feel your heartbeat
With a new taste for speed, out on the street.
Find a road to a humble abode where both of our routes meet.
The silver sound is all around and the colors fall like snow. 
The feeling of letting go, I guess we'll never know. 

Cheer up and dry your damp eyes
And tell me when it rains
And I'll blend up that rainbow above you
And shoot it through your veins.
'Cause your heart has a lack of color. 
And we should've known that we'd grow up 
Sooner or later 'cause we wasted all our free time alone. 

Your nerves gather with the altitude
Exhale the stress so you don't come unglued. 
Somewhere there is a happy affair, 
A ghost of a good mood.
Wide-eyed, panic on the getaway
The high tide could take me so far away.
VCRs and motorcars unite on the Seventh Day.
A popular gauge will measure the rage 
Of the new Post-Modern age. 
'Cause somewhere along the line 
All the decades align.

We were the crashing whitecaps
On the ocean.
And what lovely seaside holiday, away
A palm tree in Christmas lights
My emotion.
Struck a sparkling tone like a xylophone
As we spent the day alone. 

Cheer up and dry your damp eyes
And tell me when it rains
And I'll blend up that rainbow above you
And shoot it through your veins.
'Cause your heart has a lack of color. 
And we should've known that we'd grow up 
Sooner or later 'cause we wasted all our free time alone.
