Balloon

The first time I heard this song I was driving back from skiing with Riley. (Listen Here)

In my rearview
I watch you
watching the twilight
behind the telephone lines
With nothing to prove
or to assume
just thinking if your thoughts
are different than mine

In my rearview
I watch you
I gave you your life
but you give me mine

I see you slowly swim away
as the light is leaving town
to a place that I can't be
where there's no apologies

So go on
Just go on
There're still so many things
I wanna to say to you
But go on
Just go on
We're bound by blood that's moving
the moment that we started

I see perfect little lives
watch the shadows of the clouds
and the surface of the ocean
out the window of a plane
I get nervous when I fly
I'm used to walking with my feet
but I can't help but over-think
What is the purpose of my life
if it doesn't have to do
with learning to let it go
live vicariously through you
You can do the same
it's the least you can do
cause it's a lonely little chain
if you don't add to it

So go on
Just go on
There's so many things
I wanna say to you
Go on
Just go on
We're bound by blood and love
The moment that we started
