Lyric

At the corner of the shopping street

A lost balloon is smiling sweet

It pokes the pocket of the sky

As if to say, “Let’s try to fly.”

Just like a hoop that spins away

I dropped my blues from yesterday

One little twirl, and suddenly—

The world feels light again to me

When I close my eyes, I see

Tiny bubbles dancing free

Someone laughing in that dream—

(Bye-bye, old me)

I skip along to see your face

My sneakers kick the stars in space

Peeking through the donut hole of time

Candy-colored tears begin to shine

In the crossing, skirts will spin

Playing to the traffic’s rhythm

No one’s watching—still, I feel

Every heartbeat’s somehow real

Want to shout a little more

Let my colors start to soar

Today’s the stage, the world’s my cue—

I’m singing out for me and you

Deep inside my pocket lies

A spark that softly opens eyes

“Goodbye, my yesterday,” I say—

(Jump high, today!)

Even on the moon’s far side

I’d find a way to meet your light

We’ll taste the night like pudding sweet

Till every dream is on repeat

At the bus stop, doodles drawn

Ride the starlight, and they’re gone—

Carried by a wish so true

They’re flying straight to you

An upside-down umbrella flies

A rocket through the candy skies

Scattering the colored pain

Till only hope and stars remain

If I reach, I’ll touch your hand—

No matter where we stand

I skip along to see your face

Through soda seas, a laughing chase

Peeking through the donut hole of time

Our voices echo, intertwined
