Balloons


I almost headed home

but remembered you were there
couldn't run fast enough
in the other direction
you caught up
you caught up
the past is far behind
the past is past
but you hold fast to it
you bring it back
don't you think it's about time
you let it go
like a child with a red, green, blue and pink balloon
it was only a matter of time
before I set it free
and watch the sky until it couldn't be seen
it's like you fill the balloons
with all matters of doom
and once you've loaded them up
you bring them right back to me
heavier then brick
they are so so heavy
worse than shouting
you inject in a whisper
everything that's wrong with me
all that's wrong in me
you show me just how to doubt myself
I can't get far enough away
