The RainBro Connection

This is me not being bitter about how things are.

And please feel free to sing along if you too are so over not being loved.

You Don’t Love Me, It’s Okay

Lyrics:

See I would’ve given you more than these
presents and then more of anything that you please.
We could watch the sunset however corny that is
But the cornier the corny
the more real this is

Aha-hah
Aha-hah-hah

But you…
You don’t love me but it’s okay
You don’t love me but it’s okay
You don’t love me but it’s okay
You don’t love me but it’s okay

All my friends tell me this is insane
Oh, for a coffee time with you I’d miss my plane
Even if it means years of soaking in your rain
I’d be happily counting teardrops
in this one-way train

Aha-hah
Aha-hah-hah

Coz you…
You don’t love me and it’s okay
You don’t love me and it’s okay
You don’t love me and it’s okay
You don’t love me and it’s okay

And no, 
there’s nothing emo about this song
I don’t see the emo in knowing where you belong
but if you’d only look around you
for one more minute long
you will see I am here, 
I’m still here,
I’ve been here all along.

You don’t love me sometimes it’s not okay.
You don’t love me sometimes it’s not okay.
You don’t love me sometimes it’s not okay.
But I love you, I love you, 
so I love you anyway.

Tink’s Thoughts

Lyrics:

If I had known how to sew
I wouldn’t have let your shadow get away.
But needles are already spears
for my fragile heart.

If I had been the bigger one,
you wouldn’t have even asked her to come.
It’s funny how I used my own pixie dust
to banish all my happy thoughts of you -
my happy thoughts with you.

We could’ve been king and queen of Neverland forever
if only you had learned how to see me.

I won’t leave you, I’ve never left you
since the first time you broke a cry.
I won’t neglect you, I’ve never neglected you
since the time you learned how to fly.
Oh can’t you see me?
Don’t you know?
How dark the nights had become for me
since we came back with Wendy.

Are you aware of this:
I give you a thimble every night while you’re asleep.
Am I too small or you’re just too numb
to feel it? Too numb and dumb to feel it.

Because we could’ve been king and queen of Neverland forever
if only you had learned how to see me.

I won’t leave you, I’ve never left you
since the first time you broke a cry.
I won’t neglect you, I’ve never neglected you
since the time you learned how to fly.
Oh can’t you see me?
Don’t you know?
How dark the nights had become for me
since we came back with Wendy.

I’d build a castle out of pixie dust
if you’d only ask me to.
Or collect every child’s happy thought
and bring them home to you.
But there isn’t any way, is there,
to make you realize
that as your fairy friend flies
your fairy friend cries.

I won’t leave you, I’ve never left you
since the first time you broke a cry.
I won’t neglect you, I’ve never neglected you
since the time you learned how to fly.
Oh can’t you see me?
Don’t you know?
How dark the nights had become for me
since we came back with Wendy..

Neverland Three 

In 2008, I suddenly had the urge to write a song about someone I’d been missing. Upon writing the third line though, I realized I’d started writing through the perspective of the literary character that made my childhood — Peter Pan.

Eventually, I had come to write two more songs inspired by J.M. Barrie’s masterpiece but one is through the eyes of Tinker Bell and the other, through the adult Wendy. I’ll post both of those soon, but for now, here’s the first one.

When Wendy Left for London

Lyrics:

It was the last time that I saw her face
I gave her then my warmest embrace
This tiny fairy’s powder made them fly again
Away from me and back to where they must return

And the nights have never felt this long
And I’m crying too hard to say that there is nothing wrong

When she flew away back to her home
my home became so empty.
And the clouds that touch me when I fly
are freezing now that she’s without me.
And this tree house never was the same again
ever since she left me.
And everything became so wrong
the night she left for London.

I stare at her sewing kit every night
and hug my teddy to make me sleep tight.
This fairy friend of mine would say again and again
She doesn’t belong here and now she’s back
to where she must return.

And summer never was that warm
now that she’s not here to cling unto my arm.

When she flew away back to her home
my home became so empty.
And the clouds that touch me when I fly
are freezing now that she’s without me.
And this tree house never was the same again
ever since she left me.
And everything became so wrong
the night she left for London.

There’s no sense in singing this song
‘coz she won’t hear me anyway or
come back here to stay.
Guess I’ll end up flying out there every night
to peek by her window pane
as night by night her age takes her away.

When she flew away back to her home
my home became so empty.
And the clouds that touch me when I fly
are freezing now that she’s without me.
And Neverland never was the same again
ever since she left me.
And everything became so wrong
When Wendy left for London.
