Balloon

Tired little tiger with a pounding heart

You fire off a beacon through my brittle arms

I'm searching for a spark on every path I run

My clock hands start to crack under the winter Sun

So I count

Fearless little fighter with a broken jaw

You know that you could set it but you've said it all

You run your fingers through the lake to draw a line

I push on every anchor ’till my palms get tired

And I drown

I'll celebrate your birthday when it's frozen

Icicles will melt into an ocean

A fading green balloon came into view

Appeared out of the blue, I wished it to

Lead me closer to you, I watched as it flew

A fading green balloon above you

Magnetic little viper with a venom clutch

Connected unexpected diamond in the dust

Your patterns shadow canyons of a creasing smile

A season to eclipse the apple in my eye

Or leave town

Train stations are hushed with words unspoken

I'll celebrate your birthday in slow motion

A flying red balloon came into view

Appeared out of the blue while learning to

Be alone with you, I watched as it grew

A flying red balloon above you

Spirit hiding, you are trapped in a portrait

Future sighting, I am reading my fortune

Senses idling, you are floating in orbit

Magic finding, I am coming right for you

Loose time you count it out, count it out

Cut ties I'm leaving town, leaving town

Sink lines you drown it out, drown it out

Change my mind I'm lost and found, lost and found

A soaring black balloon above my view

Appeared out of the Moon while looking to

Sever myself from you, I watched as it blew

A soaring black balloon on the move

Tired little tiger with a crowded heart
