Balloons (On Fire)
Verse 1:
You painted me in the ember hues
I wish I didn’t remember you
Lately I can’t even get out of bed
I wish you’d get out of my head
I keep on replaying the scene
Every night in my dreams
Chorus:
My thoughts are a balloon
They won’t let me go anytime soon
Tie me to a string, I can’t forget anything
I spend my afternoons
Reliving what makes me blue
Tie me to a string, I can’t forget anything
Post Chorus:
I’m just one of your balloons (x2)
Vеrse 2:
You painted me this mutеd pink
Lately it’s hard to think
I dream about the house burning down
And I remember that stupid town
The chimney is now charcoal black
I wish I could get my life back
Chorus:
My thoughts are a balloon
They won’t let me go anytime soon
Tie me to a string, I can’t forget anything
I spend my afternoons
Reliving what makes me blue
Tie me to a string, I can’t forget anything
Post Chorus:
I’m just one of your balloons (x2)
Outro:
I wish they would let me go
They will never leave me alone
I wish they would let me go
These memories are cold as stone
