Lyrics
Old enough to know when I've been wrong
Reflecting on past mistakes and acknowledging maturity.
Yes and fool enough to
Admitting to being foolish despite age and experience.
Think I still might change
Expressing hope for personal growth and change.
I've been out of place but right on
Feeling displaced but aligned with the right timing.
Time and still I've let you down
Acknowledging a history of letting someone down.
We've been lovers and we've fought
Recalling a complex relationship involving love and conflict.
It would help me if I thought
Desiring reassurance through understanding.
You might remember me not for what I've done
Hoping to be remembered for positive intentions.
But for the other things I'd
Emphasizing unfulfilled but meaningful intentions.
Always meant to do
Expressing regret for unrealized potential actions.
'Cause like a child who's learned
Comparing oneself to a learning child.
The ways of life you opened up my eyes with
Acknowledging the enlightening influence of a loved one.
A love that's always new
Highlighting the perpetual newness of a significant love.
Yes I owe it all to you
Gratitude expressed for the transformative love received.
'Cause when the world outside was sure
Facing external skepticism while being sure internally.
That I was only chasing rainbows
Chasing elusive dreams despite external opinions.
You could find the words to
Finding strength in words from the loved one.
Say to make me strong
Emphasizing support received during challenging times.
Holding on to me and whispering
Being held onto and reassured during difficulties.
"There's nothing wrong with rainbows"
Accepting imperfections with positivity.
You heard my song
Receiving understanding and connection through shared songs.
And so remember me as one who came to love
Wishing to be remembered as a person who embraced love.
And found a perfect love to
Finding and cherishing a perfect love along life's journey.
Help along the way
Acknowledging the support of perfect love along the way.
And if tomorrow you should find that
Leaving room for the possibility of separation in the future.
I'm no longer by your side
Accepting the inevitability of parting ways.
Then it was time for me to go and
Recognizing the natural course of individual journeys.
It would help me just to know
Finding comfort in the knowledge of being remembered.
That you'd remember me as one
Emphasizing the legacy of coming to love and finding perfect love.
Who came to love and found a perfect love to
Reiterating the importance of a perfect love along life's path.
Help along the way
Expressing gratitude for the supportive perfect love encountered.
