So these are the figurines Acting out all the scenes before my eyes I thought I knew them all by name But they started looking much the same And it's no surprise But I don't wanna listen Too much How can I give up on all the days I know I've won There's nothing but rainbows I believe in the shadows Now honey Thought I might be dropping out But now I am gonna work it out I am gonna work with me I am runnin' like it looser Then I'm rolling like sea rusty ship on a stormy sea You know that people are saying Strange things Talk to the hand 'cause I know you think the face is gone I don't wanna listen Too much I'm not gonna give up on all the days I know I've won There's nothing but blue sky There's nothing but blue sky Nothings gonna stop me now I am skimming like a skipping stone on a silver lake I take it when the chips are down But to play the perfect happy clown You gotta make a mistake (gotta make mistakes) People are saying Strange things And I don't wanna listen (i don't wanna listen) Too much yeah Nothing but blue sky Blue sky How can I tell you I know this wont be the last song I don't wanna listen (i don't wanna listen) Too much Not gonna give up on the days I know I've won That's where I am going 'Cause there is nothing nothing but blue sky That's where I am going Nothing but Rainbows falling down on me uh yeah heyyy Nothing but blue sky Can't you see That's where I am going Got to believe me That's where I am going
