Looking for that single thread that binds me too this earth
Like an anbilicord to it's mom at a baby's birth
I've looked for years but can not find
That single thread that'll keep me entwined

Like a helium balloon without it's string
I just keep floating over things
Like cargo with out a net
One sharp turn could spell regret

I want to be tied and held safely down
As my agonizing world keeps on spinning around

I want a love to keep me here
But my years are growing short, and I fear
The time for love has passed me by
And every night I cry and cry

So there's no ties that bind
And no love that I could find
So I'm starting to unwind
