Balloon flying through the blue sky
Duck under the clouds
Welcome to a brand-new town!
How hard is must have been
To leave everything behind
And start again!
That’s what they keep saying
But they don’t understand.
Though leaving isn’t easy,
Staying’s even worse
We expect that new is better
But that’s just what we’ve rehearsed
In our minds.
Where we think we’re going
Seems better than where we are
But how can we know
When dreaming from afar?
Balloon flying through the blue sky
Duck under the clouds
Welcome to a brand-new town!
So many new faces to meet
Who you think want to know you
The reality of this
Is they only want to show you
How it feels to be betrayed.
Don’t you wish you would have stayed?
Balloon from the blue sky
Stuck in another town
Why’d you come so fast?
Why didn’t you slow down?
