Bitter Rainbows is is a song about nostalgia and the bittersweet taste of moving on. Looking back on moments can feel like seeing a rainbow. Beautiful signs that it has rained, like realizing there are better things, but that alone can cut deep and taste bitter.

lyrics

Happy feeling
Was it really only that
I think it's sweet I see
You're laying on your back
A true summer fling
And you tell me things

Like saying I
Tend to get worried
In a while
Maybe I'll
Be bitter
When I see you with her

I had a nice time
Falling in like with you
I'm ahead of my lifetime
And there are better things
There are better things

I am noticing
Your voice keeps fluttering when you speak
Just like the feeling in my stomach
I almost say it, instead
I'll bring up simple conversation
Like something in the rain
That makes your hair go straight
And just before
You talked about
the softest cloud
And we point them out
In a while
Maybe I'll
Get over being a child

I had a nice time
Falling in like with you
I'm ahead of my lifetime
And there are better things
There are better things

I don't know anything about love
What a funny feeling if it was
Because it's just a joke
I don't know anything about love
Don't know anything about what
Is or what wasn't

I had a nice time
Falling in like with you
I'm ahead of my lifetime
And there are better things
There are Better things

This rainbow's bittersweet
