waiting for a rainbow (ballad of wasted time) - abigail barlow lyrics

waiting for a rainbow (ballad of wasted time) lyrics
january 2, 2021
the day i almost…stopped chasing the music

i was sitting at my piano plunking chords that sounded like sh*t
and p*ssed at the world like it was toxic ex*boyfriend thinking…
if the world wanted to make me a star
and i was good enough to be one it would’ve by now

is this what dreams are made of?
doubt from every angle
drunken tears that f*ck up all my makeup
someone sends an angel*
i’m praying to a god that i don’t know the name of

fingers at the keys
adding to the noise
am i just a cream?
shouting in the void?

are there more than enough pop songs in the world
for teenage girls about stupid boys?

is this the pain of waiting for a rainbow?
and is there gold where you follow where it came from?
i’ll search the sky for a silver line
i’ll never find, but…
i’ll write …. the ballad of wasted time
waiting on a rainbow*
that’ll never be… mine
waiting till the day i die

[spoken]
cambria: ugh you’re so dramatic! how long has it been?
abigail: four months
cambria: okay well you’ve never been blocked that long…
abigail: maybe it’s a sign that i should give up. i have no money
cambria: i have money
abigail: i don’t want your money
*sigh*
abigail: well, interscope’s looking for receptionists
cambria: oh, h*ll no you’re not doing that
abigail: cambria! i have no choice. the well is dry
cambria: why don’t you try stepping out of your comfort zone for a bit?
go write another musical with emily!
*gasp* have you seen what they’re doing with ratatouille on tik tok?
you could do that!
abigail: i know, and i’ve been trying to find good source material for
months and nothing is coming and i suck
cambria: you don’t suck! you just need to find the inspiration. k?
i gotta go but write something. tonight!
abigail: i’ll try
*plays bridgeton*

a: hmm ocean away

[sung]
that’s a song…
what a title!
could go viral
what a beautiful party
the chandelier is so sparkly

ooh that’s good!

simon’s an ocean away…
finally!!
pencil to page
i’m finding a way!

bridgeton…
the miracle…

the musical
belongs on a stage
