"Helium" lyrics
"Helium"
9:09
You gonna call it or am I?
One more time
This puppy love is out of line
One more slide
And then we're back to real life
Oooh and I'm falling now but it's so wrong
You talk like a man and taste like the sun
Oooh and you lift your eyes up from the dust
I knew just then I knew it was done
I guess I want you more than I thought I did
Now that I know a part of you's at home with him
I guess I want you more than I thought I did
Now that I know a part of you's not part of this
Soft blue skies
Helium balloons float up away
Broad daylight
But we're sunflowers in the rain
My momma said they used to be white pyramids
They float above the sand they're slowly sinking in
Are our foundations destined to keep crumbling
Just 'cause we started this with zero innocence?
I just can't build on something that begins like this
It's a blood diamond, flawless but for that one thing
Writer(s): David Bayley
Joe Seaward commented on "Helium", "I think it's so beautiful, lyrically. It's the strongest piece, and the most emotive poetry that Dave's ever written. It's evocative and was quite moving for me."

You're in too deep to go back again
Cash, it's pay-to-play

The Backseat Lovers - "Kilby Girl" We're both throwing smoke into the night

Lovejoy - "One Day" And stop
'Cause why'd you have to kill my cat?
Why'd I have to take you back?
And time and time, I play the empath
I don't know why

A toilet with the seat left up...
Cage The Elephant - "Come A Little Closer" Time shakes, found you at the water
At first you were my father, now I love you like a brother
Earthquakes shake the dust behind you
This world at times will blind you
Still I know I'll see you...
