balloonballoon [lyrics]

She gets down on her knees,

And she throws her hands up high.

She gets down on her knees

Then she throws her hands up high.

“Today’s gonna be the day,” she says

As she dresses and undresses again

Content pools out her lips as the

Pang of the front door begins

She comes to her senses and shakes while

Flying down the lonely stairs

Sewing needle and money in fist

She collapses at the sight of what’s there

She gets down on her knees,

And she throws her hands up high

She gets down on her knees

Then she throws her hands up high

“I’m sorry everybody,

I’m just not strong enough

The earth is menacing and

It’s weight just won’t let up”

She gets down on her knees,

And she throws her hands up high

She gets down on her knees

Then she throws her hands up high

“I promise I’ll be quiet,

Someone there waits for me

I won’t get sentimental

Take more than what you need”

She gets down on her knees,

And she throws her hands up high

She gets down on her knees

Then she throws her hands up high

All her troubles, cares and wants

Have now become unbound.

“Like a balloon into the sky,

I give up. I give in. I give up. I give in.

I could give it all away and still

I know it’s not enough

I give up, I give in.”

“I know I’m never leaving

I know I’m worth deceiving”

She gets down on her knees,

And she throws her hands up high

She gets down on her knees

Then she throws her hands up high

Don’t let your pain get the best of you

“Like a balloon into the sky,

I give up. I give in. I give up. I give in.

I could give it all away and still

I know it’s not enough

I give up, I give in.”
