*


Throughout the course of a single year during quarantine, my wife and I experienced two pregnancy losses. One at 7 weeks, the other at 17. The latter was called an anomaly. This song is about what it felt like for us to first become pregnant, with all our soaring hopes, fears and dreams that came crashing down. We were crushed. Then to have it happen again from double the height… it’s a pain I’ve never experienced before. Not only pain from not being able to become a father, but from witnessing my partner grapple with something she has no control over, feeling betrayed by her own body. To have no control over your own body is something I will never fully understand and do not wish on anyone.

A rainbow baby refers to the baby someone eventually has after suffering pregnancy or infant loss. Through all this I can at least say time and community heals all wounds, as we are, for now, safely in the 24th week of our third pregnancy. We still don’t feel like we can completely celebrate or feel at ease, but we’re moving forward, through pain, through joy, knowing that’s all that can be done. This song is dedicated to all those who’ve lost babies, and to anyone who is still waiting for their rainbow baby. We’re waiting with you.

Lyrics:

the morning came as many have come
met in the middle of a six-week run
10 years divided but never apart
maybe a fire should finally come of the spark

a year had passed us with nothing changed
some plants had died in the neighborhood heat wave
it wasn’t odd for her to be late
but for some reason this didn’t feel the same

a little window, inside a cross
we couldn’t wait to tell everyone
yeah it was early but we didn’t care
who’s feeling heavy when you’re lighter than air?

pass the baton we carry
from who we were to who we will be 
are we running or waiting?

I was an immediate nutritionist 
we upped our proteins and antioxidants
soaked in magnesium, tried to relax 
tried not to say names but we weren’t good at that

Chris mailed his book on what to expect 
they were on their first and we were next
those first two weeks felt just like a dream
painting the future as if from memory

it was a Tuesday, store was on strike
came back to see the plants coming back to life
I found her kneeling, showed me some blood
wasn’t a lot but it must’ve been enough

the doctor said it was chromosomal 
tears in the drive-through before we came home
they never tell you, she’ll blame herself
it’s powerlessness I’ve never felt myself

pass the baton we carry 
from who we were to who we will be
we're waiting for our rainbow baby
waiting for our rainbow baby
we're waiting for our rainbow baby

"runaway" lyrics
[verse 1]
i’ll sing when nobody listens
and you’ll laugh at all my auditions 
we’ll act like all is forgiven
say you won’t but i still say i will

[pre-chorus]
we’ve come so far
awake
i’ve been

[chorus]
holdin’ on for better days 
i’m hopin’ you will come and 
join us on a great escape
i’m screamin’ run-a run-a 
run-a run-a runaway
  
[verse 2]
if you meet me,
out there, nobody can stop us 
goodbye, forget all your problems
if i’m clyde, you’re bonnie to rob em
say you won’t but i still say i will  
(say you won’t but i still say i will)

you’re there when no one believes me
you said that you’d never leave me
i wish that this could be easy 
say you won’t but i still say i will  
(say you won’t but i still say i will)

[chorus]
holdin’ on for better days 
i’m hopin’ you will come and 
join us on a great escape
i’m screamin’ run-a run-a 
run-a run-a runaway

[outro]
we’ve come so far
we can call it a weekend holiday
gimme 20 & we can runaway

we’ve come so far
we can buy you a suitcase on the way
say you’re with me & we can runaway

we’ve come so far
(i’ll sing when nobody listens)
(and you’ll laugh at all my auditions)
we can call it a weekend holiday
gimme 20 & we can runaway

we’ve come so far
(out there nobody can stop us)
(goodbye forget all your problems)
we can buy you a suitcase on the way
say you’re with me & we can runaway
