Takes

Lyrics

[verse]

She floats above the city lights

Tethered by a thread too thin

Chasing something she can't name

Running from the war within

[chorus]

Black balloon, don't drift too far

I'm still down here beneath the stars

Black balloon, come back to me

Before the wind decides you're free

[verse]

She says the good days feel like glass

Something beautiful that just won't last

I've watched her fight this quiet fight

Alone inside the borrowed light

[chorus]

Black balloon, don't drift too far

I'm still down here beneath the stars

Black balloon, come back to me

Before the wind decides you're free

[bridge]

I can't hold the string forever

I can't promise I'll be clever

But I'll stand here in the storm

Till you find your way back home

[chorus]

Black balloon, don't drift too far

I'm still down here beneath the stars

Black balloon, come back to me

Before the wind decides you're free

## Lyrics
[verse]
She floats above the city lights
Tethered by a thread too thin
Chasing something she can't name
Running from the war within

[chorus]
Black balloon, don't drift too far
I'm still down here beneath the stars
Black balloon, come back to me
Before the wind decides you're free

[verse]
She says the good days feel like glass
Something beautiful that just won't last
I've watched her fight this quiet fight
Alone inside the borrowed light

[chorus]
Black balloon, don't drift too far
I'm still down here beneath the stars
Black balloon, come back to me
Before the wind decides you're free

[bridge]
I can't hold the string forever
I can't promise I'll be clever
But I'll stand here in the storm
Till you find your way back home

[chorus]
Black balloon, don't drift too far
I'm still down here beneath the stars
Black balloon, come back to me
Before the wind decides you're free
