August Lifts
Signed out of my email and I swear the floor let go.
Left my badge on the desk and gained a centimeter or so.
The bus home felt like flying.
The stairs forgot to climb.
Helium in my shoes!
Nothing weighs what it used to!
The phone stopped being heavy,
the sky came down to say hello.
Helium in my shoes!
My bag is full of nothing and the nothing's really light.
I waved at my reflection and it floated out of sight.
Helium in my shoes!
Nothing weighs what it used to!
September has a scale.
It's waiting by the door.
But that's a September problem.
Helium in my shoes!
Helium in my shoes!
Don't hold me down,
don't hold me.
Okay hold me a little,
I'm drifting toward the sea!
