Balloon

How goes it now I'm round your wrist

Who knows just how much higher

And if I could go but a string ties me to you

You're like a child I'm like a balloon

I never said I'm not quiet or cold

Or full of myself and hard to hold onto

Or floating away at the sound of some warning bell

Like I just might pop if you love me too well

Up and away the way most balloons go

Riding around in the sky on my own it'd never do

Better to be on the ground I believe

If you are the one there with me

You are an angel and I'm a cartoon

A colored in outline of somebody who

Wants to come down and stay tied right to you

You are a fine boy I'm just a balloon

Up and away the way most balloons go

Riding around in the sky on my own it'd never do

Better to be on the ground I believe

If you are the one there with me

If you are the one there with me
