LYRICS ::

I told you I wanted to play with the stars
You said if it’s more than an hour’s drive, it is too far
With my tractor trailer I dipped in the sea
You held tight your teaspoon of mediocrity

I walked in the room wearing a holographic rainbow cape
The moment I did you looked for your escape
You told me stability was where it’s at
I’m not sure what’s golden but I know it’s not that

I’m the one who sneaks glances at sunsets through peepholes
You’re content to never even try
I left you behind all those moments ago
When you thought it was dumb that I always asked why

& I don’t care
I don’t care
If you wouldn’t love me now

I showed you my plans for all vibrant & bright
You asked for sunglasses, complained about the light
I told you I’d one day shine bright as the sun
Your discomfort told me that you weren’t the one

You only think good things come to those who wait
Without action for retiring fate
I stopped mimicking your shadow all those years ago
I run with the sun, get where I’m meant to go

I’m the one who steals glances at sunsets through peepholes
At animals & stars & friends I wave
I bring all the light in I never stop dancing
Everywhere I go I play

& I don’t care
I don’t care
If you wouldn’t love me now

You never got me you never will
If it wasn’t for you quitting on me I’d be there still
To who I can be I will always be true
I’m so proud to say I’ll never be like you

& I don’t care
I don’t care
If you wouldn’t love me now

I don’t care
I don’t care
If you wouldn’t love me now

I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care
