Balloon
Inude Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

My head is a balloon,
My heart is a dead weight
I'm on the higher roof
You're sitting on the moon
There is no rules
I guess to never forget
I'm looking for a place,
A sign, in my mind

In my hot air balloon
Made of woven wool
There is no rule
I guess to never forget
I'd like to speak with you for the last time the first time like a man
I'm trying to sing a song for you
I'm trying to write a song for you
I'm trying to sing a song for you

I'm trying to write a song for you
To let you know I will always love you
