Red Balloon

One day at a time, uncover what's mine
What I left behind, what I gave to you
What I thought was me turned out was all you
But it was all you. Yeah it was all you
But it was all you. Yeah it was all you

My friends ask me what it's all about
Of course you know it's all about trauma
My boy tells me that my songs are sad 
Of course he can't know it's all trauma
And then when I tell you "it's all good"
It's just trauma
So when you ask me what your song's about
Bet your bottom dollar it's trauma

One day at a time, I look for the signs
Read between the lines buried in my mind
I dig for the truth, which I thought I knew
But she looked like you. Yeah she looked like you
Yeah she looked like you. She looked just like you

My friends ask me what it's all about
Of course you know it's all about trauma
My boy tells me that my songs are sad 
Of course he can't know it's all trauma
And then when I tell you "it's all good"
It's just trauma
So when you ask me what your song's about
Bet your bottom dollar it's trauma

Oh, you know you can't heal it any faster.
All I know's I can't wait to see what's next.
Can't wait to see what's after. 
Oh, you know you can't heal it any faster. No.
All I know's I can't wait to see what's next.
Can't wait to see what's after.

Trauma

LYRICS:
(Composed by Conversing with Oceans and John Forté. © 2016 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ASCAP)

"Deeper than my heart. Deeper than my soul. 
Deeper than the words you were born to know.
Deeper than my blood. Deeper than my bones. 
That's how my love goes for you.
For you..
 (When you close your eyes, it's what's inside. Focus on that fire--when it starts it burns you away. Can never die. Just like the tide. So tell me will you ride? Just like the tide. This ripple has turned into a wave.)

Deeper than the faith of a holy man. 
Deeper than the ocean's reach for land.
Deeper than the truth I can comprehend. 
That's how my love goes for you.

For you..
(John Forté verse:)
When everything I lost became an opportunity for winning
I was standing in the doors of a new beginning
Walk good when the shoes are given
What I see is the true and living
Hard living is a God given
I don’t judge men
I make art with them
How I breathe is the core’s rhythm
I said, “We’ve been here before,”
But you didn’t listen
Ambition is a man fishing downstream
Can’t miss him!
Got a whole lot of guts – plus intuition
Come on, settle in – I got the medicine
Dead of winter, wood shedding
Headed into better winds
Head wrapped
With the veterans, bedouins, tyrants, migrants
And yet again
There’s no other
That’s word to mother
You can check again
Outside better come on in
We can lotus goodnight
Til it’s good morning
Whenever
Never.”

Lyrics:

HEART OF A POET

I got the book you recommended. I lied the first time you had asked. I thought of you as I unpacked it and all our talks on philosophy and silly things like that.

And what it means to live, what it means to give a worthwhile kinda life. You know I still forget what a tender gift we get in this worthwhile kinda life.

(Never let nobody tell me how to live my life.)

She came by on Tuesday morning. I saw her eyes, at once I knew. She handed me a folded pamphlet filled with memories of you. 
I'd learned you'd dreamed of being a sailor. 
Adored your family and wife. 
A photo of young lovebirds skiing. 
That beaming smile that savored life.

Lyrics: 

Hope, don't stray far from me. I'd swear I'd known you all my life. Like a dream from another year--a silent Chaplin film from '25. Back when I still felt alive. 

Wear your white dress, 'cause I'm coming over. Skin is sunburned, can I peel your shoulder? Dance to a song that we're humming from our heads. 
I've got such big plans, I'm going to take you with me. Fight like crazy, you think (pretend) that you won't miss me? No one knows that part of you like I.. 

You say, "Love, you won't live at all if you only ever live inside your head. 'Cause you want, oh, you want it all. But you'd trade it all for something you can't get. Just to make you feel alive. Just to make you feel.. 

Do I make you feel alive?

Lyrics:

I said "Don't, no matter what you do, give our secret away. It's our secret and we're sworn to keep it. The center's watching and the clock is ticking on you. And it's ticking on me too."

Pre chorus: But, my god baby don't it feel good? Just like the movies. Just like in Hollywood. Do you think we can do this?

"'Cause I won't" I said. "I'll never give you up." If they want me dead, they'll find me that cold, cold blood. Just like in Hollywood. Just like those movies. Cause I'll never give you up if promised to do this. 

A defector says the center's on to you. There's nothing we can do. They're sure to track us down now, down now. 

Bridge: Now it's down to the chase scene. Please tell me it's a bad dream. Your defiant eyes in slow motion--the most beautiful I've seen. Did we want it all? Did we risk too much. Now I wait here baby. To die for your touch. 

Get up now baby 'cause we really can't stay the night. Get up now baby, cause they have us in their sights. Get up now baby, we'll be on our way. Get up now baby 'cause we really can't stay. Get up now baby, cause we really can't stay the night.

Lyrics:

Is something wrong? 
This don't feel like home. 
TV's still on and it's a skipping scene of me still playing that song. 
Oh, it's been too long. 
And I've forgotten what I've said in it 
but the way I felt still lingers on and on. 

Still feeling alone ever since I set fire to my soul. 
Still feeling alone ever since I set fire. Set fire.

Я всё ещё иду, горят огни. 
Может это мне снится? 
Я всё ещё один, мне не говори, 
где я был, что я пел, когда успел ошибиться. 
Ну, что потом? Не могу думать, как много времени прошло. 
Пылает всё огнём, я потерял свой дом, 
потерял свой дом.

I was hoping you would save me. 
I was hoping you would save my life. 
I was always busy waiting
For the time that I would be all right. 
But now the only thing I know
Is it's all right to feel alone
And I will make it on my own.
Yeah, I know I'll make it. 

Still feeling alone ever since I set fire to my soul. 
Still feeling alone ever since I set fire. Set fire.

Begin Again ft. Svmmy Well
