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.
this is from a few years ago...
