[Verse 1]
Do you remember our first kiss?
It was cosmic and bliss, it was mystic
I remember the way that it tasted
You said I was your favorite
And true, we were a little bit faded
But we didn't stop, we kept on dating
'Til you said your heart had to started change and
That we maybe needed separating (Say what?)

[Chorus]
Away I go
Searching for the end of the rainbow
Someone keeps moving the pot of gold
Feels like I'm chasing my shadow
I'm a lovesick Romeo
Someone's not getting the memo
Cupid must've run out of arrows
Feels like I'm running in slo-mo
When I'd rather be closer to you

[Post-Chorus]
You
You
You
[Verse 2]
I was devastated
How could a friendship become so complicated?
Always the love that you gave me was reciprocated
Always appreciated
Then I was knocked down in just one blow
When you bowed out, you tied my shoes together
When I thought that you and I would be forever
I ran off to follow you, but tripped and couldn't follow through
I know now that no means no

[Chorus]
Away I go
Searching for the end of the rainbow
Someone keeps moving the pot of gold
Feels like I'm chasing my shadow
I'm a lovesick Romeo
Someone's not getting the memo
Cupid must've run out of arrows
Feels like I'm running in slo-mo
When I'd rather be closer to you

[Bridge]
That's right
And still after all this waiting
All that's changing
Is how I want you more
Nothing's fading
I'm still hanging on
To you
To you
To you
[Chorus]
Away I go
Searching for the end of the rainbow
Someone keeps moving the pot of gold
Feels like I'm chasing my shadow
I'm a lovesick Romeo
Someone's not getting the memo
Cupid must've run out of arrows
Feels like I'm running in slo-mo
I'm a lovesick Romeo
Holding on to a heart of gold
They say if you love it, you should let it go
Parting is such sweet sorrow

[Outro]
Yes, I'd rather be closer to you
