Balloons (2017)

[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
