BALLOONS -- Julia Nunes

I'm sorry my camera is so old and has aweful quality. I am also sorry that you can't really see what I'm doing in some of these shots. I'm just trying to widen the range of the audience.

I got the idea to record it like this because of Kaylee's Video:

YAY for Julia Nunes!

English:
Years went by and we got older
Remember the days when gas was sold
For 1.50 a gallon oh, how things have changed
like those stylish fads and the look on your face
well, you see me for the first time in years
We swore we'd never end up here
Well I won't be alone

If it's gone, I'll move one
Time to leave while my eyes are still dry
Time to leave while my head is held high
Time to bolt, time to bail, time to go
Where to? Well I really don't know

I'm gone, so long, see you soon
Up up and away like a rising balloon
I'm just stupid enough to pack up an leave
talking all you have trusted and confided in me

Hug me now 'cause you might loose your change
I am crouched in my sprinting stance
It's time to bolt, time to bail, time to go
'Cause I've let you get way too close

I'm gone, so long, see you soon
Up up and away like a rising balloon
I'm just crazy enough to leave you behind
Though you're like nothing I have found or will find

Years went by and we got older
Remember the days when gas was sold
for 1.50 a gallon oh how things have changed
like those stylish fads and the look on your face
You see me for the first time in years
We swore we'd never end up here

We'll I won't be alone.

ASL GLOSS:
YEARS WE OLD
BEFORE, REMEMBER GAS COST 1.50
MANY THINGS CHANGE
LIKE COOL CLOTHES [and] YOUR FACE EXPRESSIONS
YOU-SEE-ME, FIRST TIME SINCE YEARS
WE PROMOSE WE NEVER TOUCH-FINISH (a sign that has the basic meaning of "been there done that', or that's what I was told.) HERE
I WILL NOT ALONE
IF WE FINISH, I MOVE-ON

TIME LEAVE WHILE I NOT CRY
TIME LEAVE WHILE HEAD[lift]
TIME TO-GO, TIME ESCAPE, TIME GO
GO WHERE? I DON'T KNOW

I GONE, GOOD-BYE, SEE-YOU SOON
FLY SAME BALLOON [rise]
I STUPID ENOUGH, PACK, LEAVE
TAKING YOUR TRUST, SECRETS, ESCAPE

HUG ME NOW, MAYBE NEVER AGAIN
I READY RUN
TIME TO-GO, TIME ESCAPE, TIME GO
BECAUSE I LET YOU CLOSE ME
I GONE, GOOD-BYE, SEE-YOU SOON
FLY SAMM BALLOON [rise]
I STUPID ENOUGH, LEFT YOU
YOU SAME-AS NOTHING BEFORE FIND, FUTURE FIND

YEARS, WE OLD
BEFORE, REMEMBER GAS SOLD 1.50
MANY THINGS CHANGE
LIKE COOL CLOTHES [and] YOUR FACE EXPRESSIONS
YOU-SEE-ME FIRST TIME SINCE YEARS
WE PROMISE WE NEVER TOUCH-FINISH HERE

I WILL NOT ALONE.

That would be my short hand gloss.
