Air Balloons
Ethereal Desires Unveiled: Air Balloons by Jonny Ryder
Lyrics
You don't have to if you don't want to
You are not obligated to do something if you choose not to.
Take my breath away
Indication that something is awe-inspiring or breathtaking.
I saw a man today, yeah
The singer recounts an encounter with a man today.
He taught me all about you
This man shared information about the subject of the song.
No more candy trees, yeah, only the mirror
Reference to a change – no more pleasant illusions, only facing reality.
You don't have to if you don't want to
Reiteration of the absence of obligation in a decision.
Take my breath away
Repetition of the idea that something is breathtaking.
You don't have to if you don't want to
Emphasizes the lack of compulsion in a choice.
Take my breath away
Repetition for emphasis – the breathtaking aspect is optional.
I stood behind the man, yeah, to avoid you
The singer strategically positioned himself behind the man to avoid the subject.

You don't have to if you don't want to

Tear my breath
