I have weapons and battle plans
But in my heart I know I can't ever protect you
From things I don't understand

And when I hold you in my arms
It scares me just to think that something so beautiful
Could come apart in my hands

I've always been chasing rainbows
Staring out of classroom windows
I don't think I'll ever be
Happy unless I'm unhappy and hugging my grudge

I was too dumb to settle down
So I packed up and I left town
On the sunshine bus
Wondering where it all went wrong

On a flimsy wing and a prayer
I followed my heart everywhere
Until I ended up back
Where I started from

Ive always been quietly dreaming
I don't know when I've been beaten
I don't think I'll ever be
Happy unless I'm unhappy
And hugging my grudge

I've always been chasing rainbows
Staring out of classroom windows
I don't think I'll ever be
Happy unless I'm unhappy and hugging my grudge

I've always been quietly dreaming
I don't know when I've been beaten
I don't think I'll ever be
Happy unless I'm unhappy and hugging my grudge
