Helium

You’re the helium in my balloon. 
A switch that flips to chase the dark from the room. 
The swish of my skirt from a cool breeze that blew 
on a summer’s day Rolled the clouds away. 


You’re the cotton candy in a paper cone 
Whispers of sugar spun into foam 
Each taste is a rush, I can’t get enough 
I’m a kid again when you’re in my hands 


I have a tendency to walk through this world heavy hearted 
collecting sorrows like stones 
You have this effect on me, I’m light as feather, when we’re together 
I thought you should know 


You’re a moonlit waltz to a cricket’s song 
We’re floating underneath the stars. I hum along. 
The pull of your arms leads me where I belong. 
So I close my eyes, and enjoy the high 

I have a tendency to walk through this world heavy hearted 
collecting sorrows like stones 
You have this effect on me, I’m light as feather, when we’re together 
I thought you should know 


You’re the helium in my balloon 
My troubles start to disappear as we fly into the blue 
You’re the best thing I’ve found, please say you’ll stick around 
As we drift back down, our feet touch the ground.
