Rainbow Veins Tab

by Owl City


***VERSE 1***
 
High rise, veins of the avenue 
                                    
Bright eyes and subtle variations of blue.
                               
Everywhere balanced there like a rainbow above you.

Street lights glisten on the boulevard.
                                     
And cold nights make staying alert so hard.
                                                        
For heaven’s sake, keep me awake so I won’t be caught off guard.
                                                
Clearly I am a passerby but I’ll find a place to stay.
                                  
Dear pacific day, won’t you take me away?


***VERSE 2***

Small town hearts of the New Year
                               
Brought down by gravity crystal clear.
                                          
City fog and brave dialogue converge on the frontier.

Make hast, I feel your heartbeat
                                     
With new taste for speed, out on the street.
                                                      
Find a road to a humble abode where both of our routes meet.
                                              	         
The silver sound is all around and the colors fall like snow.
				                        
The feeling of letting go, I guess we’ll never know.

Cheer up and dry your damp eyes

And tell me then it rains

And I’ll blend up that rainbow above you

And shoot it through your veins.


*****CHORUS*****

Cause your heart has a lack of color.

And we should’ve known

That we’d grow up sooner or later
                                 
Cause we wasted all our free time alone.

***VERSE 3***

Your nerves gather with the altitude
				                                  
Exhale the stress so you don’t come unglued.

Somewhere there is a happy affair, a ghost of a good mood.

Wide eyed, panic on the getaway 
				                                  
The high tide could take me so far away.
					                                      
VCRs and motorcars unite on the Seventh Day
								                            
A popular gauge will measure the range of the new Post-Modern Age.
                     				                        
Cause somewhere along the line all the decades align.


***BRIDGE***
 
We were the crashing whitecaps.

On the ocean (on the ocean).
                             
What a lovely seaside holiday, away.
  			                     
A palm tree in Christmas lights.

My emotion.
				                                 
Struck a sparkling tone like a xylophone.
                    
As we spent the day alone.


***BREAK***
