lyrics

It's a great day for playing
In the playground after school
The swingset'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 that I'm a dreamer
And Lord knows 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 getting bolder
Getting harder to get over
This insanity I'm trapped inside

I can have the money
I can have the fame
I can 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
