Balloons

from Sorry I Asked by Big Big Buildings

/

lyrics

Deep in the throes of the clearing smoke
I hurt for you again
I wish I could see where the balloons float
After you let them go

I scoured for outlines of a lake
Where we sat and the sun warmed it's face on us
'Cause nothing like you ever happened to me
And I miss you so loudly

Stood in your shower with all my clothes on
To keep you from coming undone
Part of me broke in the hold of your song
And I'm not who I thought I was
In the long, lonely wait for your clouds to break
Oh I wish I kept swinging away
In the long, vibrant fight to be the man you'd admire
Oh, I bleed out the hopes of carrying us both

All you think I forgot
Hangs on a clothesline
In the back of my mind
And I see a collage
Of ways I could be
That would've kept you next to me

If only I could show you my pain
When I think of your face
And the joy in your eyes
And the wild rainbow light
And the black hole that's left in it's place
But I'll always think of you that way
