Balloon
Erin Martin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a love that's waitin' for me
Like a bug in hiding til spring
I crossed a field in bloom and I stepped into
A hot air balloon that's got room for two
I'm going to find the love that's waitin' for me
Miles and miles unravellin'
My whole life
Just waiting for you
When I'm way up high
I'm watching the clouds float by
Just give me one reason why
Why I'm waiting for you
I saw tall towers, and rows of flowers
I was peekin' over, I was countin' down the hours
I can't wait to find the love that's waitin' for me
I'll be floatin' around, listenin' for the sound of you
I'm hopin' that you hear me too
Although my head's in the clouds,
My heart could come down for you
Feel like I been travellin'
Miles and miles unravellin'
My whole life
Just waiting for you
When I'm way up high
I'm watching the clouds float by
Just give me one reason why
Why I'm waiting for you
When I'm done wait-ing for you
Then it's just me in my balloon
Flyin' high and
You wouldn't believe what I could do
Feel like I been travellin'
Miles and miles unravellin'
My whole life
Just waiting for you
When I'm way up high
I'm watching the clouds float by
Just give me one reason why
Why I'm waiting for you

I really like this song! Your voice is so soft... Have you ever tried singing slow, soft songs like Civil Wars or something? Personally, I was a big fan of you on the THE VOICE the whole time.
