ForFront - Rainbow Airplane Lyrics

Reminisce, picture this
Rainbow airplane, room of kids
Crayon kits, table amiss
But it was in the lines, and felt proud as shit
Accomplishment, heard her say
To Ma when she picked me up but stayed
I zoned out, drifted away
Never even thought how art was made
Never even thought that to this day
The way it felt, the whole array
With Oreos and Lemonade
Was the farthest I'd ever be from afraid
But closest I've been to artist pay
The feelings gone though, quick to fade
So appreciate an absence of pain
And learn to fly, rainbow airplane

But please don't ever grow up, it's a trap
I know you're looking forward to looking back
But its hard to search through gaps, for feelings from the past
So please don't ever grow up its a trap
P-Please don't ever grow up its a trap
I know you're looking forward to looking back
But its hard to search through gaps, for feelings from the past
So please don't ever grow up its a trap

The towers fell, froze the clocks
Half-mast flags at every stop
So I swapped some books for my building blocks
And put that airplane in a box
It gathered dust, I studied up
Went to class, doodled a bunch
Became an athlete, learned to run
Killed some time, and smoked some bud
I met some friends, and lost some more
Found a few misplaced before
I went outside, loved to explore
Circled fires, and ate s'mores
With a song stuck in my head
And a hole in my soul instead
Of in my Jeans, went to patch my core
And used the rhythm as thread

Please don't ever grow up, it's a trap
I know you're looking forward to looking back
But its hard to search through gaps, for feelings from the past
So please don't ever grow up its a trap

Coulda been an engineer
Architect or pioneer
Coulda been inside a cell in Hell!
Went and disappeared
I coulda played in centerfield
Been a rookie of the year
Coulda lost my life to drugs
When they whispered in my ear
But instead, I'm barely a poet
Facing headlights like a deer
Guess I owe it, to myself
To figure out just why I'm here
I don't know another domain
That could be the last frontier
Shit, that rainbow colored plane
Could be my whole career

Please don't ever grow up, it's a trap
I know you're looking forward to looking back
But its hard to search through gaps, for feelings from the past
So please don't ever grow up its a trap
Please don't ever grow up its a trap
P-Please don't ever grow up its a trap
