Lyrics

Now that we’re older
Yet no wiser still
The Earth has commanded us
To move in for the kill

So now I lay dying
After trying too hard
You place a band-aid
On my bruising heart
Just like a movie star

We’re fleeting just like balloons
We’re floating just like balloons

Under these skies I know not to want
I’ll pull you in closer, hone in on warmth

I’m prettiest sleeping
And most useful by far
I’ve stumbled to greatness
Right into your arms
Just like a movie star

We’re fleeting just like balloons
We’re floating just like balloons
We’re floating, just me and you

They’ll drag me down
From my stand
Push me aside
If they think they can

I’m heavy weight
But not dead yet
A headful of dreams
I’ve not put to bed

All I need
And all I want
Is you by my side
Against all odds
You are love

Just like balloons
We’re fleeting just like balloons
We’re floating just like balloons
We’re wrinkling just like balloons
