Balloon Animal Skies

[Verse 1] He’s parked by the glass White room, pale dawn One hand on the sheet One eye still on The trees in the pane Bent like they know He’s counting his breaths Too slow, too slow [Pre-Chorus] And the clock won’t help him now But the room feels light somehow Like the sky is folding near Like a hand is on his fear [Chorus] Balloon Animal Skies Hold me up tonight Nothing can ever harm me I see it in your eyes The last breath doesn’t alarm me As long as I can see Those Balloon Animal Skies Balloon Animal Skies [Verse 2] Then his old street turns bright With a paper kite His mother in the yard His first stolen bike A dog in the rain A church bell, a song Every goodbye he feared Just carried him along [Pre-Chorus] And the walls fall soft and thin Like the world is breathing in He can feel it all arrive Every hurt still made him live [Chorus] Balloon Animal Skies Hold me up tonight Nothing can ever harm me I see it in your eyes The last breath doesn’t alarm me As long as I can see Those Balloon Animal Skies Balloon Animal Skies [Bridge] If the door opens wide If the body lets go He won’t leave afraid He already knows Love was never a lie It stayed by his side In the shape of a cloud In the shape of a child [Final Chorus] Balloon Animal Skies Hold me up tonight Nothing can ever harm me I see it in your eyes The last breath doesn’t alarm me As long as I can see Those Balloon Animal Skies Balloon Animal Skies
