Rainbow Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I saw a rainbow through the clouds
It had to rain for it to come out
I saw a halo over your head
You were my angel, I must've been dead

[Chorus]
So I had to say goodbye
To get to the gold on the other side

[Verse 2]
I saw the future after our past
I wasn't ready for it to last
I saw a photo, it made me laugh
It gave me FOMO, it made me sad

[Chorus]
So I had to say goodbye (Today)
'Cause I knew it was time to cry
Yeah, I had to say goodbye
To get to the gold on the other side

[Bridge]
I've had some others, there won't evеr be another like you
You givе me butterflies, I might puke
You motherfucker, you're too easy to love
My mama even likes you, too

[Outro]
Oh, I've had some others, there won't ever be another like you
I've had some others, there won't ever be another like you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Jesse® say about "Rainbow"?
Genius Answer

It’s been a minute since I’ve shared anything. It feels like I moved away from home & got a new phone number. This is my message letting you know I’m back in town & trying to get together.

It’s a true solo journey, and the music is just kind of soundtracking what I’m going through in my life. And I thought it was kind of time to grow as an individual, because I’ve put a lot of my time and energy into growing within relationships, which is a great thing. I mean, I love and I hold dear all my relationships, and I feel like I have a lot of strong ones. And even the ones that didn’t last, I feel like were lovely, and nobody’s on any sort of bad terms or anything. And I just needed a moment for myself. It was just kind of like it had to happen sooner or later. So this felt like the best time to do it.
