On a August 17, 2024 livestream, Mori Calliope described the inspiration for the song, saying:
It was at a funeral, me and all of the other people there were given a blue balloon, and when the ceremony was over, we walked out to the back area of the reception area, and let the blue balloons fly int...
[Verse 1]
Wishing I could be a bit stronger
I lose a little more of me
The further I wonder why
I can't join you up in the sky
Summer drags a little bit longer
I figured that by now I'd grow a little bit taller
Would you be kinda disappointed in me?
Would we laugh until we cry like old times, smiling?
You're asking me these questions I don't know the answer to
Faded lines still writing but the melody stopped connecting long ago
Maybe I'm getting old
[Chorus]
Don't wanna fall out of love
I'm thinking I'm out of time
Been drinking on endless Monday mornings
Like why am I the one alive?
Out of words, I'm thinking of other ways
To keep my head above the water
So I'm hanging on to I'll be happy
Someday (Someday), someday (Someday), someday (Someday)
I'll get through all this never-ending blue
Someday (Someday), someday (Someday), someday (Someday)
[Verse 2]
I take a few extra breaths for luck
Cross my fingers and my heart
So I can see a little more before I give it up
Innocent beginnings only distract
Still isn't everybody searching for a way to get back?
Wishing I could be a bit wiser
I lose a little more of you the further time flies
Your silhouette before me, can't let it wither away
"If there's a will there's a way" you'd say it
[Pre-Chorus]
Our are memories reminding
And inspiring all these questions I don't know the answer to
Without a compass I can go any place
But where I wind up at the end of the chase is still a mystery
Could this be the start of the end?
Another story lost to the wind
[Chorus]
Don't wanna fall out of love
I'm thinking I'm out of time
Been drinking on endless Monday mornings
Like why am I the one alive?
Out of words, I'm thinking of other ways
To keep my head above the water
So I'm hanging on to I'll be happy
Someday (Someday), someday (Someday), someday (Someday)
I'll get through all this never-ending blue
Someday (Someday), someday (Someday), someday (Someday)
[Outro]
Stumbling and falling sideways
I guess that's me but that's not all I'll ever be
And still that view, I wanna see
Even now, I'll hold on to it somehow
Everything's a little bit unclear
If I said I think it's over
That I've finally had enough here
Would you be kinda disappointed?

I read all the comments about the song on YouTube and saw, “This sounds like normal people music.” That made me laugh so hard. Oh no, I haven’t been making normal people music until now! I mean, I did try...
