Balloon Girl

Her head is always up in the clouds

She's not coming down

So don't wait around

She's like a balloon

Though you tie her to you

She always tries to float away

She's always slipping from you

Like water through your fingers

Or air in your lungs

She doesn't like to linger

You'd be foolish to try and tie her down

Balloon girl

She's a beauty

But she wants to fly away

Keep her too long

The lightness in her heart goes away

Sinking to the ground

Balloons want to be free

Squeeze her too tight

She'll explode

Leaving nothing more than the colorful memories

Left by her soul

The string holding her here is thin anyway

So let go of the balloon girl

Balloon girl is a part of me

I'm using him as inspiration today.
