Let down my guard today
You took my heart away
Now I’m alone
On a bench made for two
Clutching this red balloon
Filled up with thoughts of you
Open my hand
And it pressed to the sky of blue
This is a call for freedom
I’m too scared, too scared of
Letting my mind start to reason
And hope that you care for me
Get my heart off my sleeve
‘Cause loving you
Could be the death of me
Now that my thoughts are sane
Hopped on a northbound plane
Off to a city that’s absent of you
Something that caught my eye
Passing through painted skies
Just out my window
A small red balloon
This is a call for freedom
I’m too scared, too scared of
Letting my mind start to reason
And hope that you care for me
Get my heart off my sleeve
‘Cause loving you
Could be the death of me
I’ll take my heart
I’ll take my mind
I’ll take my eyes off you
I’m too scared, I’m too scared
I’ll take my heart
I’ll take my mind
I’ll take my eyes off you
Can’t hope that you care for me
Get my heart off my sleeve
‘Cause loving you
Could be the death of me
