It's late at night, I'm wide awake
I sit and watch the nurses pace
The stale taste of recycled air
It lingers in the room we share
My time is running out
But I think I'm ready now
I count the hours down, down, down

I'm letting go, we're used to being so afraid of letting go
'Cause I know I don't fear a thing
So let me float like balloons in the sky
So let me float like balloons

I'm letting go, we're used to being so afraid of letting go
'Cause I know I don't fear a thing
So let me float like balloons in the sky
So let me float like balloons

I've come to know this borrowed bed
About as well as my best friend
The clockwork sound of these machines
They sing like birds that never sleep

I have my memories
More than I'll ever need
I count the hours down, down, down

I'm letting go, we're used to being so afraid of letting go
'Cause I know I don't fear a thing
So let me float like balloons in the sky
So let me float like balloons

I'm letting go, we're used to being so afraid of letting go
'Cause I know I don't fear a thing
So let me float like balloons in the sky
So let me float like balloons

Say goodbye (say goodbye)
One last time (one last time)
This world is beautiful and kind
But no longer is it mine

It's late at night
I'm wide awake
I sit and watch the nurses pace

I'm letting go, we're used to being so afraid of letting go
'Cause I know I don't fear a thing
So let me float like balloons in the sky
So let me float like balloons

I'm letting go, we're used to being so afraid of letting go
'Cause I know I don't fear a thing
So let me float like balloons in the sky
So let me float like balloons
