Afraid of falling
prey to the gods
on whose ground you�ll be crawling
a world with no ceiling
the higher you get
the less that you�re feeling
down�
Chorus:
�cause you�re the helium
in the atmosphere
yeah the helium
and i�m grounded here
unlike you- i�m here to stay
�cause i hold the string
that keeps you from floating away
The sky that�s between us
is hiding a fear
that space can�t redeem us
it�s hard to see through
why i can�t go
even halfway to meet you
there�
Chorus
Floating away
Over inflated
you�re weighted down
by the world that you hated
i had to lose you
can�t hold on to
the ones who refuse to
� come down
You�re the helium
in the atmosphere
who i really am
keeps me grounded here
you�re the helium
in the atmosphere
yeah, the helium
and i�m grounded
you�re the helium
in the atmosphere
who i really am
keeps me grounded here
it took this long � for me to see
that you lift me up
to where i wanted to be
�to where i wanted to be
