I have weapons and battle plans 
But in my heart I know I can't ever protect you 
From things I don't understand 

And when I hold you in my arms 
It scares me just to think 
That something so beautiful  [bad word] apart in my hands 

I've always been chasing rainbows 
Staring out of classroom windows 
I dont think I'll ever be 
Happy unless I'm unhappy 
And hugging my [bad word] 
Oh 

I was too dumb to settle down 
So i packed up and I left town 
On the sunshine bus 
Wondering where it all went wrong 

On a flimsy winged aeroplane 
I followed my heart everywhere 
Until I ended up back 
Where I started from 

Ive always been quietly dreaming 
I dont know when I've been beaten 
I dont think I'll ever be 
Happy unless I'm unhappy 
And hugging my [bad word] 
Oh 

I've always been chasing rainbows 
Staring out of classroom windows 
I dont think I'll ever be 
Happy unless I'm unhappy 
And hugging my [bad word] 
Oh 

I've always been quietly dreaming 
I dont know when I've been beaten 
I dont think I'll ever be 
Happy unless I'm unhappy 
And hugging my [bad word] 
Oh
