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 thought 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 darlin 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
