When it gets hard and i cannot cope
Reeling myself out on a long, thin rope
Floating away in this lightest breeze
To a wild blue flight of fantasy

My feet leave this earth so easily
Just turn around; say goodbye to me
When the smallest things start going wrong
There i am, going, going, gone

Oh no
Here i go

Hold me down; i'm a balloon
And i'll fly away
If you don't hold me down; i'm a balloon
And i wanna stay

The hand i need on my string is you
Quiet and steady and ready to
Pull me to earth when i'm losing touch
Reel myself in what i love so much

Oh no, here i go

Hold me down; i'm a balloon
And i'll fly away
If you don't hold me down; i'm a balloon
And i'll never stay
Here on the ground; i'm a balloon
And i'll fly away
Please hold me down; down here with you
Cause i wanna stay

Hmm
OO, yeahh, oo

Oh no, here i come

(i'm a, a balloon) hold me down; i'm a balloon
And i'll fly away
Hold me down; i'm a balloon
And i'll never stay
Here on the ground; i'm a balloon
Fly away
Please hold me down; with you
Cause i wanna stay
