 CBalloons

a pinwheel starscape: all the lights from the rides and games,
let’s lose our loose change, the money my mom gave,
+++ I wanna win that one for you, I wanna win that one for you,
+++ I wanna win that..
+++++ till we rise like carnival balloons,
+++++ slip from children’s hands and drift into the blue,
+++++ floating on the air, high above the fair,
+++++ headed anywhere the wind may choose,
+++++ till we rise like carnival balloons..

twilight by neon, the tickets we rationed,
I slipped my arm around you,
watch fireworks from ferris wheels, is this the way love feels?
always over too soon,
+++ I wanna win that one for you, I wanna win that one for you,
+++ I wanna win that..
+++++ till we rise like carnival balloons,
+++++ slip through children’s hands and drift into the blue,
+++++ floating on the air, high above the fair,
+++++ headed anywhere the wind may choose,
+++++ till we rise like carnival, rise like carnival balloons,
+++++ I wanna win that one for you…
