Balloon

Tired little tiger with a pounding heart
You fire off a beacon through my brittle arms
I'm searching for a spark on every path I run
My clock hands start to crack under the winter Sun
So I countFearless little fighter with a broken jaw
You know that you could set it but you've said it all
You run your fingers through the lake to draw a line
I push on every anchor ’till my palms get tired
And I drownI'll celebrate your birthday when it's frozen
Icicles will melt into an oceanA fading green balloon came into view
Appeared out of the blue, I wished it to
Lead me closer to you, I watched as it flew
A fading green balloon above youMagnetic little viper with a venom clutch
Connected unexpected diamond in the dust
Your patterns shadow canyons of a creasing smile
A season to eclipse the apple in my eye
Or leave townTrain stations are hushed with words unspoken
I'll celebrate your birthday in slow motionA flying red balloon came into view
Appeared out of the blue while learning to
Be alone with you, I watched as it grew
A flying red balloon above youSpirit hiding, you are trapped in a portrait
Future sighting, I am reading my fortune
Senses idling, you are floating in orbit
Magic finding, I am coming right for youLoose time you count it out, count it out
Cut ties I'm leaving town, leaving town
Sink lines you drown it out, drown it out
Change my mind I'm lost and found, lost and foundA soaring black balloon above my view
Appeared out of the Moon while looking to
Sever myself from you, I watched as it blew
A soaring black balloon on the moveTired little tiger with a crowded heart
