Catch a b***erfly on a windy day
try to make the clouds stay away
and go insane
if only I could learn to paint with words
would the sound of colors make me heard
there's no easy fight,
it's not black or white
it's all a contradiction in terms
(chorus)
After the rain
sun comes out to play
after the pain
you learn to open your heart
and then learn to trust again
learn to play
I dreamed that a star forgot to shine
kinda like Einstein without his mind
he'd go insane
Imagine a rainbow without rain
picturing a windless hurricane
give without the take
joy without the pain
it's all a contradiction in terms
(chorus)
