[Verse 1]
It’s late at night, I’m wide awake
I sit and watch the nurses pace
The sterile taste of recycled air
It lingers in the room we share
[Pre-Chorus 1]
(Oh) My time is running out
(Oh) But I think i’m ready now
(Oh) I count the hours down, down, down
[Chorus]
I’m letting go, when I used to be so afraid
Of letting go, 'cause I know I don’t fear a thing
So let me float like balloons in the sky
So let me float like balloons
I’m letting go, when I used to be so afraid
Of letting go, 'cause I know I don’t fear a thing
So let me float like balloons in the sky
So let me float like balloons
[Verse 2]
I’ve come to know this borrowed bed
About as well as my best friend
The clock ward sound of these machines
Sing like birds but never sleep
[Pre-Chorus 2]
(Oh) I have my memories
(Oh) More than i’ll ever need
(Oh) I count the hours down, down, down
[Chorus]
I’m letting go, when I used to be so afraid
Of letting go, 'cause I know I don’t fear a thing
So let me float like balloons in the sky
So let me float like balloons
I’m letting go, when I used to be so afraid
Of letting go, 'cause I know I don’t fear a thing
So let me float like balloons in the sky
So let me float like balloons
[Bridge]
Say goodbye
(Say Goodbye)
One last time
(One last time)
This world is beautiful and kind
But no longer is it mine
[Verse 3]
It’s late at night, I’m wide awake
I sit and watch the nurses pace
[Chorus]
I’m letting go, when I used to be so afraid
Of letting go, 'cause I know I don’t fear a thing
So let me float like balloons in the sky
So let me float like balloons
I’m letting go, when I used to be so afraid
Of letting go, 'cause I know I don’t fear a thing
So let me float like balloons in the sky
So let me float like balloons
