Watch the sunsets

I just want to watch the sunsets and dance in the rain.

There's not a minute, not a second to spare in time.

I want my mind to be open, and wash away the pain.

 

It's hard to take risks because I feel there's nothing to gain.

I feel like money buys happiness, but I can't spare a dime.

So I just want to watch the sunsets, and dance in the rain.

 

When there's no chance to think, my mind becomes scattered and I feel insane.

Nothing fits together like it should, just like a rhyme.

I want my mind to be open and wash away the pain.

 

I try to understand people, how they work and why they're so vain.

But my minds a mess, no words come out just like a mime.

So I just want to watch the sunsets, and dance in the rain.

 

Life would be easier if I knew how to express myself and not refrain.

But when I tell how I feel, it's almost as if it's a crime.

Iwant my mind to be open and wash away the pain.

 

When I finally relax, my thoughts pour out like a drain.

It's like I'm going nowhere and I'm not even in my prime.

I just want to watch the sunsets and dance in the rain.

I want my mind to be open and wash away the pain.
