Your toy balloon has sailed in the sky, love
But now it must fall to the ground
Now your sad eyes reveal just how badly you feel
'Cause there is no easy way down

The view from the cliffs must have been exciting
And up to the peaks you were bound
Now you're stranded alone and the path is unknown
And there is no easy way down

No, it isn't very easy (no easy way down)
When you're left on your own (no easy way down)
No, it isn't very easy when each road you take
Is one more mistake, and there's no one to break your fall
And lead you back home, yeah

We all like to climb to the heights and low
Where our fantasy world cannot be found
But you must know in the end when it's time to descend
That there is no easy way down

You know you're gonna find
That there is no easy way down

No, it isn't very easy
When you're left on your own
No, it isn't very easy
When you're left on your own (no easy way down)
No it isn't very easy (no easy way down)
When you're left on your own (no easy way down)
