When you come back, I'll already be gone
Feeling a little happy and undone
Well, that's all right, because I'm already lost
I'll just close my eyes and try to adjust
To the hospital lights and the spinning of the room
Up in a tree, there are 28 balloons
But then you said, it wasn't just a lie, you said that one day I would fly
You said that all wasn't lost; you said that I would make it across
I remember the rain made your eyes greener
And the way the doctor said you were still in danger
But I don't mind because somewhere along the way`
I found out I was more at peace everyday
With the fact that sometimes dogs have to get shot
And somehow people manage to get caught
But then you said, it wasn't just a lie, you said that one day I would fly
You said that all wasn't lost; you said that I would make it across
