painted skies


It's getting colder now
and the skies are turning gray
it's all painted in the clouds
like our dreams in other shades

time tells us nothing
if we've stood in one place
age tells us nothing
if there was nothing for us to chase

so let me bring you far away
far away from the most distant memory
let me bring you far away
where life isn't just a dream

wake up to a new embrace
with a new set of eyes
and a permanent smile on your face
no longer painted on for disguise

waste nothing but the unnecessary
cause there's value in it all
don't let it go sedentary
or they'll hide behind your wall

use the best of you in all you do
even when the weather wears you down
show the world they've underestimated you
and wear your true self's crown

it's getting colder now
and the skies are beginning to dawn
it's all painted in the clouds
so now go above and beyond



Always, Lainey
