“I'd be smiling and chatting away, and my mind would be floating around somewhere else, like a balloon with a broken string.”

“If you were me, then I'd be you, and if I were you, then I'd hide somewhere far away.”

“In this forlorn state
I find life dreary indeed:
if a stream beckoned,
I would gladly cut my roots
and float away like duckweed.”

“I want to tear myself from this place, from this reality, rise up like a cloud and float away, melt into this humid summer night and dissolve somewhere far, over the hills.”

“It is not irritating to be where one is. It is only irritating to think one would like to be somewhere else.”

“Somewhere around the world someone would love to have my first world problems”

“There's something in a flying horse,
There's something in a huge balloon;
But through the clouds I'll never float
Until I have a little Boat,
Shaped like the crescent-moon.”

“When I am with you, there is nowhere else I'd rather be. And I am a person who always wants to be somewhere else.”

“I try to catch at many a tune
Like petals of light fallen from the moon,
Broken and bright on a dark lagoon,But they float away — for who can hold
Youth, or perfume or the moon's gold?”

“This person, this self, this me, finally, was made somewhere else. Everything had come from somewhere else, and it would all go somewhere else. I was nothing but a pathway for the person known as me.”
