Two Egrets

I always thought I'd die
With a rainbow on the skyline
In the backseat of my car
Where it's only you and I
And the pigment flickers slowly
In the corner of your eye.

I don't need to be sincere.
But, there's something on the skyline
And it makes it kind of clear
That it's you and me together in this world.
The way I feel tonight
I could stay with you forever
But nothing lasts forever.
I'd hate to let this rainbow die.

I always thought I'd cry
With an egret on the shoreline
On the day we said goodbye.

But a sentimental song
Keeps me hanging on.
It seems that you and I
Are only killing time until the rain blows over.

I don't need to be sincere.
Cause there's something on the skyline
And it makes it kind of clear
That it's you and me together in this world.
The way I feel tonight
I could stay with you forever.
But nothing lasts forever.
I'd hate to let this rainbow die.

Our colors fall down...down.
Our colors fall down...down.

Killing time until the rain blows over.
Killing time until the rain blows over.
Killing time until the rain blows over.
Killing time until the rain blows over.

I don't need to be sincere.
But there's something on the skyline
And it makes it kind of clear
That it's you and me together in this world.
The way I feel tonight
I could stay with you forever.
Can we make it last forever?
I'd hate to let this rainbow die.

Our colors fall down...down.
Our colors fall down...down.
