Balloons
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Years went by, and we got older
Remember the days when gas was sold
For 1.50 a gallon, oh how things have changed
Like those stylish fads
And the look on your face
When you see me for the first time in years
We swore we'd never end up here
Well I won't be you alone
And if it's gone, I'll move on
It's time to leave while my eyes are still dry,
It's time to leave while my head is held high
It's time to bolt, time to bail, time to go
Where to?
Well, I really don't know
I'm going, so long, see you soon
Up, up and away like a rising balloon
I'm just stupid enough to pack up and leave
Taking all that you have trusted and confided in me
Hug me now, 'cause you might lose your chance
I am crouched in my sprinting stance
It's time to bolt, time to bail, time to go
'Cause I let you get way too close
I'm going, so long, see you soon
Up, up and away like a rising balloon
I'm just crazy enough to leave you behind
Though you're like nothing I have found or will find
Years went by and we got older,
Remember the days when gas was sold
For 1.50 a gallon, oh how things have changed
Like those stylish fads,
and the look on your face
You see me for the first time in years
We swore we'd never end up here
Well, I won't be alone
