Rainbow
Caillat Colbie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And bouncin' off my skin
How long do I have to wait for
The sun to shine again
Come on paint me the rainbows
I can follow it
I don't know where it'll take me
But I like wonderin'
Whoever you are
Where will you be?
Are you the same old dreamer out there waiting only for me?
Waiting for love
Waiting for the same old dreamer on the other side
Hoping that no matter how far I'm gonna find my way to you
Following a rainbow
I'm gonna stop in the middle
Hang my feet off the edge
I got no reason to worry
I know I'll find the end
That's where you'll be waiting
I hope you don't forget
That I won't quit till I find you
No matter the risk
Whoever you are
Where will you be?
Are you the same old dreamer out there waiting only for me?
Waiting for love
Waiting for the same old dreamer on the other side
Hoping that no matter how far I'm gonna find my way to you
Following a rainbow
Stuck in my mind
I'm wasting time
I'm still on my own
I never thought that I would find my way into the light
Dreamin' to find
Whoever you are
Where will you be?
Are you the same old dreamer on the other side waiting for me?
Waiting for love
Waiting for the same old dreamer on the other side
Hoping that no matter how far I'm gonna find my way to you
Following a rainbow
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I know we're gonna find it, i know
I know we're gonna find it
I know we're gonna find it
I'm never gonna let you go
I know I'm gonna find you
I know I'm gonna find you
I won't let you go
Followin', followin', followin' the rainbow
Followin', followin', followin' the rainbow
Followin', followin', followin' the rainbow
Followin', followin', followin' the rainbow
The song “Rainbow” by Colbie Caillat is a beautiful ballad about waiting for love and the journey towards it. The first verse sets the scene in the midst of a rainy day, with the singer feeling the drops of rain bouncing off their skin, waiting for the sun to shine again. They then urge someone, presumably a lover or a friend, to paint them a rainbow for them to follow, even though they don't know where it will take them, they like wondering. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for the unknown journey towards love, and the anticipation and excitement surrounding it.
The chorus then focuses on the search for love and a partner, asking “Whoever you are, where will you be?” The singer wonders if there is someone out there waiting for them, a “same old dreamer out there waiting only for me,” following their own rainbow. They hope to find each other and wait for the day when they can finally be together, no matter how far the journey takes them. The singer makes it clear that they won't stop until they find the person they're looking for, despite any risks.
The song's structure is simple and repetitive, with each verse and chorus continually reiterating the theme of searching for love and following a rainbow towards it. The instrumentals are light and acoustic, creating a sense of warmth and familiarity. Overall, the song is a hopeful and optimistic ode to the journey of finding love, and the joy that comes with it.
