Lyric

You stay in bed, the curtains closed

Just one more reel, just one more scroll

The sun comes up, but don't you see

Another day that you’re gonna miss

You used to dream, you used to shine

Now even hope feels way too bright

You’re tired but you don’t know why

You’re breathing, but are you alive ?

And everyone says, “just get better”

But no one shows you how to get there

The doctor says you need walls all white

I say you need your colors back

I’ll build a rainbow for you

A bridge until your dreams

A slide to laugh and fall

To remind you : you're just fifteen tonight

September waits down the line

It’s your brand new high-school life

You're scared, I know — but don’t you run

Darling I swear I got your back

You think you’re broken past repair

But girl, there's stardust in your hair

Your eyes, like sapphires, still can glow

Especially when the light is low

Don’t let the silence tell you lies

Your laughter’s just been stuck inside

Stars will bloom inside your mind

You’ve got fire you’ve never tried

I’ll build a rainbow road

But it’s okay to cry tonight

I’ll slide with you tomorrow

You’re just beginning, darling hold on tight

You’ve got the sky to fly

Your wings are made of time

I swear your tears will dry

You’re growing slowly, but you’re growing fine

I’ll build a rainbow for you

A bridge from fear to something true

A slide to feel the wind again

To remind you: at fifteen life begins
