Counting Crows - 99 Days lyrics

She said, "I wanna be the rain, I am a red balloon, I got a book of dates." She's gonna go away and leave me here tonight Some worlds last longer then others She's got a red balloon, she's gonna be the sky, I'm gonna paint my face tonight Hey 99 days out of San Francisco Headed for Berlin Hey 99 days left of California Headed with the wind If I sail across the water, I'll be floating blind, here beside the wild Monkey came alive, she's leaving me behind It's so hard to find She said, "I wanna be a plane, I am a red balloon, I'll never be the same And I'm gone, gone, gone on the wind." She said, "You'll never get away, you need a red balloon, you need a better day. This time, your headed home this time." Some trips last longer then others, she just said, "Good-bye." She just float away, I'm gonna die right here this time Some girls last longer then others, too few red balloons, too little time tonight Hey 99 days out San Francisco Headed for Berlin Hey 99 days left of California Setting with the wind, home
