Black Balloon

Baby's black balloon makes her fly

I almost fell into that hole in your life

And you're not thinking about tomorrow

'Cause you were the same as me

But on your knees



A thousand other boys could never reach you

How could I have been the one

I saw the world spin beneath you

And scatter like ice from the spoon

That was your womb



Comin' down the world turned over

And angels fall without you there

And I go on as you get colder

Or are you someone's prayer



You know the lies that they always told you

And the love you never knew

What's the things they never showed you

That swallowed the light from the sun

Inside your room



Comin' down the world turned over

And angels fall without you there

And I go on as you get colder

Or are you someone's prayer



And there's no time left for losin'

When you stand they fall

Comin' down the world turned over

And angels fall without you there

And I go on as you grow colder

All because I'm

Comin' down the years turn over

And angels fall without you there

And I'll go on to bring you home

All because I'm

All because I'm

And I'll become

What you became to me
