Testo di 'Balloon' di Emily Reo

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 count

Fearless 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 drown

I'll celebrate your birthday when it's frozen
Icicles will melt into an ocean

A 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 you

Magnetic 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 town

Train stations are hushed with words unspoken
I'll celebrate your birthday in slow motion

A 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 you

Spirit 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 you

Loose 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 found

A 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 move

Tired little tiger with a crowded heart
