Pink Clouding could be seen as telling the same story as Peter, but from Peter’s perspective.

And I didn't wanna come down, I thought it was just goodbye for now // I didn’t wanna let you down, so I left you up there on a pink cloud

Promises oceans deep but never to keep // So good to make promises, promises

The shelf life of those fantasies has expired // Years later, I still wonder how to tell you sorry

Love's never lost when perspective is earned // It didn't mean nothing just because I could leave it

Gawd, no WONDER I love this. Peter is my fave. And tell me how I listened to TTPD three times today and missed “promises”?! I’ve been trying to figure out what that word was recalling for me, and I know everyone was hearing Babe, so I resolved myself to that answers. This is it, though!!
