the black balloon.

--

You're beautiful

But you smell

You're mainstream

But you rebel

You're the black sheep

That runs with the herd

You're outwardly presidential

Inwardly nerd



You're brilliant

But you're people dumb

You're catwalk

But you're fashion numb

You're a million different contradictions rolled into one

And that doesn't hurt to win me over



You're poker faced

With the clearest tell

You're magical

Without casting a spell

You don't blink enough

And that's weird as hell

When everyone you watch is watching



You're bewitching

But you're way to forward

You'd have conquered the world if you'd only been taller

You're sporty and proud

Yet you're clumsy and awkward

If I wasn't yours it'd put me off



But if you were even

A little bit badder

A little bit louder

A little bit easier to read

I'd be gone before you'd even see

That I like you and I just wanted to say that



If you were even

A little bit stronger

A little bit wiser

A little more glitter and show

I'd been gone before you'd even know

That I like you and I want you to know that



Don't change a little

Don't change a little

Don't change even a little

Cause I like you

And I love you

And I want you to know that



You're shy

But you're a superstar

You're dysfunctional

But I'll take what you are

You could get up and shine

In a thousand rooms

And even with flaws such as yours you would bloom



You're intractable

But you're wholly polite

I just know you would jump in raptured delight

Cause you're tone deaf

But you sing like a muse

You leave everyone, everywhere

Except me confused



And if you were even

A little bit badder

A little bit prouder

A little bit easier to read

I'd be gone before you'd even see

That I like you and I just wanted to say that



If you were even

A little bit stronger

A little bit wiser

A little more thunder and glow

I'd be gone before you'd even know

That I like you

And I love you

And I want you to know that



That I like you

And I love you

And I want you to know that



That I like you

And I love you

And I want you to know that

Chriz, Lars, Martijn and I just watched 'The Big Balloon', finally. I wanted to see this movie for ages, but never took the time and after another movie drama, which I do best, Chriz put it on and that was that.

The movie is great, nothing too extreme, just nothing too mucho, but in balance and very lovely. Ofcourse it made me think of certain things, back to certain times and some people. And eventhough Gemma is in it, and, forget her name, she plays the mom, and I adore her. Toni Collette! I adore Toni.

Anyway, great movie, see it. If not, listen to some of the songs, because they are quite nice! Also, nice way it was filmed, again, very much in balance. Maybe I should do a IMDB-moments now. Maybe. Ha. x
