A Balloon Above Me, Guiding

VERSE 1:
And what was that you said to me darling
When we were coming home?
I wish I hadn’t started a party downstairs
You were sleeping alone

I thought about all of the danger
I remembered that Summer time
I caught up on all of our stories
These memories left behind

VERSE 2:
And everything is rapidly changing
I feel I am fallen behind
Another weather front is passing us over
There’s a storm and there’s a calm to find

I smell roses whenever I kiss you
I think of flowers in the daytime
You make me feel like I’m already floating
Even though I am scared of heights

CHORUS:
I was sitting out in the garden
And I know it didn’t feel right
I didn’t have you to hold on to
And it’s colder now in the night
But oh my love
How I’ve fallen behind
And oh my love
Oh how I’ve fallen behind

CODA:
But I won’t try
To untie
I think I may
I think I might
Float away
Tied to a string
A balloon above me guiding my
Everything

Self-described as “an original, lyric-driven, alt-synth indie 5-piece”.
