It's a great day for playin'
In the playground after school
The swing set's a-swingin'
And the slides are pretty cool
But alone in the distance
A boy sits with intent
He wonders what it feels like
Outside the chain link fence
A better world instead
I've got sunshine and rainbows
In my head
It's a clockwork reaction
Whenever things went wrong
I would shun the world around me
And build one of my own
You may say I'm a dreamer
And I know you'd be right
Pretty dreams and perfect scenes
Instead of sleep at night
A place with no regrets
I've got sunshine and rainbows
In my head
Every year that passes by I
Should be getting older but it
Feels the same
Still the same
And the dreams are growing bolder
Getting harder to get over
Insanity
I'm trapped inside
I could have the money
I could have the fame
I could have a palace
Shaped after my name
I could find the one
To catch me when I fall
I can see her smiling face
I can see it all
They're better off out there
I'll take sunshine and rainbows
Instead
