Can You Hear The Rainbow
5 & A Dime Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Far too late I hope I make it count
Kept it inside far too long
Time that I let it out
You were always there for me
With your heart so big you wore on your sleeve
Didn't have much but a hand that was out to reach
God I just hope you can hear me now
Why couldn't I just understand it
Never got mad just compassionate
Hurts to write all of this in past tense
God I just hope you can hear me now
Hope that you're up there just singing along
Maybe one day I'll hear you playing this song
Maybe one day when my time has come
I'll see your face again
And I can finally make amends
But for now, until we meet again
I just hope you can hear me now
I hope that you can hear me now
Far too late I hope I make it count
Kept it inside far too long
Time that I let it out
You were always there for me
With your heart so big you wore on your sleeve
Didn't have much but a hand that was out to reach
God I just hope you can hear me now
All of the time that I took for granted
Why couldn't I just understand it
Never got mad just compassionate
Hurts to write all of this in past tense
God I just hope you can hear me now
Hope that you're up there just singing along
Maybe one day I'll hear you playing this song
Maybe one day when my time has come
I'll see your face again
And I can finally make amends
But for now, until we meet again
I just hope you can hear me now
