Balloon

I imagine a balloon of people

Just holding hands and feet

Would catch in the wind and lift up

Like a wavering peopled sheet

See I never liked being social

I found it a little perplexing

What could I have in common

With people who weren't me

And what would they think

If they caught me flexing in the mirror

Making my superman face

Just stretching to make a scar in it's place

Look more like a cleft on my chin

And I believe there's a time to begin

I feel like I'm on the outside

Looking into this people-shaped blur

Writhing in this social stapler

It spits them out

Punching them through each other

Start out total strangers

Ending up as one night lovers

I never started believing what they believed

I never bothered with the habits that could hurt me

And yet it's happened that I've opened up as I've aged

And time in front of other people is like a big stage

We can make a play on

So tell me that your drive is way strong

Cause that's sexy where I come from

Trying to get away trying to move on

Can't find the confidence and

Shy girls want awkwardness and

The music makes it so we have to stand this close

I wonder if this is free

She wants to complicate me

And I want to tell her that I'm already

Never find the confidence

Never get the chance to get to you

Now I find I can't break through
