Lead Balloon

Just when I thought I hadn't seen a thing

You went and promised me we'd float

Promenade through all the little corners

Of the world that no one knows

Climb Mount Everest

Build ourselves a terrace

Overlooking Isle of White

But suddenly the skies are darkening

The clouds are rolling in

I'm realizing all the while

I've been strung along and carried by a lead balloon

Oh but how could I have ever left the ground

When the reason I've been struggling pulling my weight is you

You're my love you're my lead balloon

Just when I think I'm figuring it out

I've sorted through the doubt you caused

I start dreaming of rooms without a ceiling

Buildings towering applause

If only we could drift as though we were filled with helium

Light as feathers

We would never come undone

'Cause darling we'd be tethered

I've been strung along and carried by a lead balloon

Oh but how could I have ever left the ground

When the reason I've been struggling pulling my weight is you

You're my love you're my lead balloon

I've been strung along and carried by a lead balloon

Oh but how could I have ever left the ground

When the reason I've been struggling pulling my weight is you

You're my love you're my lead balloon

You're my love you're my lead balloon
