Helium

Afraid of falling
prey to the gods
on whose ground you’ll be crawling
a world with no ceiling
the higher you get
the less that you’re feeling
down…
Chorus:
‘cause you’re the helium
in the atmosphere
yeah the helium
and i’m grounded here
unlike you- i’m here to stay
‘cause i hold the string
that keeps you from floating away
The sky that’s between us
is hiding a fear
that space can’t redeem us
it’s hard to see through
why i can’t go
even halfway to meet you
there…
Chorus
Floating away
Over inflated
you’re weighted down
by the world that you hated
i had to lose you
can’t hold on to
the ones who refuse to
… come down
You’re the helium
in the atmosphere
who i really am
keeps me grounded here
you’re the helium
in the atmosphere
yeah, the helium
and i’m grounded
you’re the helium
in the atmosphere
who i really am
keeps me grounded here
it took this long – for me to see
that you lift me up
to where i wanted to be
…to where i wanted to be
