Balloon Lyrics

When it gets hard and I cannot cope
Reel myself out on a long thin rope
Floating away in the slightest breeze
To a wild blue flight of fantasy

My feet leave this earth so easily
Just turn around say goodbye to me
When the smallest things start going wrong
There I am going going gone

Oh no here I go

Hold me down
I'm a balloon
And I'll fly away
If you don't
Hold me down
I'm a balloon
And I wanna stay

The hand I need on my string is you
Quiet and steady and ready to
Pull me to the earth when I'm losing touch
With myself and what I love so much

Oh no here I go

Hold me down
I'm a balloon
And I'll fly away
If you don't hold me down
I'm a balloon and I'll never stay
Here on the ground
I'm a balloon
And I'll fly away
So please hold me down
Down here with you
'Cause I wanna stay
