Balloon Songtext
von Jonathan Reuel

I feel somehow like I know less than I did before
Please don′t leave me feeling helpless here outside your door
You, given time will unwind all these pressing questions
But what will I do in the meantime with these new possessions

I feel somehow like I know less than I did before
Help me know how to address this
Show me something more


Looking back to the end of last year
We've all got this loneliness and fear
Someone else′s dream, someone else's near-death talk
I went west, I guess I thought that it was better this way
Memories and towns back then when you don't back down
Nothing else and nothing left
If you were mine I might confess
If you were mine it might address this sense of lost self confidence
If you were mine, Camellia Drive Lullaby (your brown eyes dry)
So you don′t mind if I don′t mind . . . . waiting

I'm nothing but empty
This nation of plenty
Is nearing a century on the world stage
I′m waiting and dreaming
I'm resting and writing
I′m close to igniting something sideways

I don't mind this taking chances except when it jeopardizes
You and me and what keeps us alive
This feels like life and death and
I feel somehow like I know less than I did before
Life here sitting in the ashes leaves you wanting more
