Chalk Stars Lyrics
Feel I'm
floating, floating and
Look up
and the sky was
broken, broken and
Woke up
and my hand was
open, open and so
And all you want is a rainbow,
and all you get is the rain.
I'll be drawing chalk stars, on a black board
seeing rainbows, in the raincloud.
Don't you know we all cry,
honey, sometime
when the sun goes down
when the sun goes down
Dreamt I
was a dark sky
and the dawn was breaking, and
Woke up
and my heart was,
aching. Honey it was aching, and so
And all you want is a rainbow,
and all you get is the rain.
And I'll be drawing chalk stars, on a black board
seeing rainbows, in the raincloud.
Don't you know we all cry,
honey, sometimes
when the cold light of day
is sleeping at the weel
is sleeping at the weel
and all you get is the rain.
seeing rainbows, in the raincloud.
honey, sometime
when the sun goes down
when the sun goes down
and all you get is the rain.
seeing rainbows, in the raincloud.
honey, sometimes
when the cold light of day
is sleeping at the weel
is sleeping at the weel

I saw these guys last year supporting Snow Patrol, thought they were really good.
I believe this song is about the elating feeling of love, but love that is unrequieted. At the beginning it is talking about floating like in a dream, maybe dreaming of the one you love who doesn't love you in return. The cold light of day is often used to mean the truth, and as the old light of day dawns, the truth comes out and causes great pain. The sun going down could mean the happiness that you feel in the dream ('sun') goes away as you wake up and the truth comes out to be replaced with the...
