Lyrics

Wake up, the rainy days are passing
So release your balloons and let them
Fly away
Fly away like paper aeroplanes,
That crumple so easily
And wither if we fly too long
No, don't fly too long

Shake with the wind
and the strain and the pressure
That comes from above

Weigh us down and makes us heavy
Like the wind howling and our own perspiration
So no, don't fly too long
(No don't fly)
Wax melts on our wings

(no don't fly too long)
'Till we feel our bodies falling

To the angry sea
So no, don't fly too long
Yeah don't fly too long

Don't fly too long
Don't fly too long
Don't fly too long

Don't fly too long
Don't fly too long
Don't fly too long

Don't fly too long
Don't fly too long
Don't fly too long

Don't fly too long
Don't fly too long
Don't fly too long
