99 Days - by Counting Crows

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
Gone with the wind
She said
You'll never get away
You need a red balloon
You need a better day
This time, you're headed home this time
Some trips last longer then others
She just said, goodbye
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 of San Francisco
Headed for Berlin
Hey 99 days left of California
Setting with the wind
