lyrics

Baby, there's no real thing like a right time
to do the things that match your idea of
what it should be like to be living
And lately I've begun doubting these theories
mostly cause of my own experience
that though you unlock all achievements
you fail to find any real meaning

But oh, when I found my rainbow's end
and opened up the thing with my hands
do you think there could be something in there
to really make existing much better for us
cause I do find that hard to imagine

And maybe, there was always someone much better
at pretty much every endeavour
that you said really did matter
And everyone's climbing a ladder
reaching for some kind of medal
a nod from the rest of the mankind

But oh, when I found my rainbow's end
and opened up the thing with my hands
do you think there could be something in there
to really make existing much better for us
cause I do find that hard to imagine

So happy birthday
I know you make your best out of living
just beware of all of the pitfalls and dead-ends
just don't ever think that you're the odd one out
and that it wasn't meant for you
