A Sky Full of Hot Air Balloons

I've been leaving you messages in my sleep,

And I wonder if you ever get them,

Do you ever hear me flying by in stunt planes,

Puff puff puff, leave you a little message in the smoke,

You set my veins on fire, and I can't help but inhale,

I take what I can get, your smile's a syringe full of sun,

Take a bit out, and now I can breathe,

Put a bit in, and now I can actually sleep,

Give me another name, and I'll love you all the same,

You've stained my lips, Mona Lisa doesn't sing songs,

But if she did, they'd sound like you feel,

An hour beside me seems like a minute,

Minutes after you go, I wonder the month,

Should I call you miss Aorta, take what's left,

Thump, and make it all feel so right,

Balloons fly away, and for a moment we've all got open eyes,

Look around and it's all so sweet, don't let it fall,

You've left my lips stained, with a colour I don't want

to go, stay, like a warm winters breeze,

like a warm winters breath, stay like these memories,

The ones here, and the ones that haven't quite arrived yet,

Ribs will laugh, eyes will sigh, lips will sing,

I may not be sane, might be crazy, but I see what I see all the same,

If you were a pendant, a necklace of sorts, I'd wear you everywhere,

Paris to Poland, a sight to see wherever I go,

If I was a professional day dreamer, we'd be rich and run away,

and walk away, and dance away, and kiss in the rain,

You're espresso to a little twitch of the lips.
