Lyrics

Do you remember our first kiss
It was cosmic and bliss, it was mystic
I remember the way that it tasted
You said I was your favorite
And true, we were a little bit faded
But we didn't stop, we kept on dating
'til you said your heart had to started change
And that we maybe needed separating
Say what!?

Away I go searching for the end of the rainbow
Someone keeps moving the pot of gold
Feels like I'm chasing my shadow
I'm a lovesick Romeo
Someone's not getting the memo
Cupid must've run out of arrows
Feels like I'm running in slo-mo
When I'd rather be closer to you

I was devastated
How could a friendship become so complicated?
Always the love that you gave me was reciprocated
Always appreciated
Then I was knocked down in just one blow
When you bowed out you tied my shoes together
When I thought that you and I would be forever
I ran off to follow you but tripped and couldn't follow thru
I know now that no means no.

Away I go searching for the end of the rainbow
Someone keeps moving the pot of gold
Feels like I'm chasing my shadow
I'm a lovesick Romeo
Someone's not getting the memo
Cupid must've run out of arrows
Feels like I'm running in slo-mo
When I'd rather be closer to you

That's right.
And still after all this waiting
All that's changing is how I want you more
Nothing's fading, I'm still hanging on
To you
To you
To you

Away I go searching for the end of the rainbow
Someone keeps moving the pot of gold
Feels like I'm chasing my shadow
I'm a lovesick Romeo
Someone's not getting the memo
Cupid must've run out of arrows
Feels like I'm running in slo-mo

I'm a lovesick Romeo
Holding on to a heart of gold
They say if you love it
You should let it go
Parting is such sweet sorrow

(Sexophone Solo)

Yes I'd rather be closer to you
