Black Balloon

Song: Black Balloon

Artist: Goo Goo Dolls

 

Confession: I love me some Goo Goo Dolls. John Rzeznik has that scratchy, rocker kind of voice that just gets me! I don't know, it's just an awesome sound! AJ is my favorite Backstreet Boy for that very reason ;) I don't know too many of the Goo Goo Dolls songs, but the ones I do know I have been obssessed with these past couple of days. Especially Black Balloon. I don't know what it is about this song, it's such a sad song (and I think it's about someone with a drug addiction) but I just really love it. And I've been listening to it a lot lately.

 

 

Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you're not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Cuz you were the same as me
But on your knees

A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one?
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon that was your womb

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer?

You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
What's the things they never showed you
That swallow the light from the sun inside your room, yeah

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Always someone there

And there's no time left for losin'
When you stand they fall, yeah

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
All because I'm

Comin' down the years turn over
And angels fall without you there
And I'll go on and I'll lead you home and
All because I'm
All because I'm
And I'll become
What you became to me
