Balloon Girl

You said
Let's go play tag inside the mall
We'll imagine we're the stars of the music hall
Let's make pretend
Let's make pretend
We'll set some speakers up inside your living room
We'll sing our songs for all our fans and they will sing it too
Let's make pretend
Let's make pretend

Why does it seem good moments never stay?
My brain reminded me of all those bills I have to pay
Why does it seem that I can't block things out?
I cannot make a single choice unless it's filled with doubt

You promised me that
This wouldn't be sad
I'll try my best to just smile this time
I second guess things
That's why I just dream
That's the premise of my storyline
So fly away with your balloon

You said
Let's go play house in the furniture store
Put the kids to bed right next to the floral decor
Let's make pretend
Let's make pretend
We'll dream up a trip that takes us to a foreign land
Soaking up the sun and reading with our toes in the sand
Let's make pretend
Let's make pretend
Yeah

Why does it seem good moments never stay?
My brain reminded me of all those bills I have to pay
Why does it seem that I can't block things out?
I cannot make a single choice unless it's filled with doubt

You promised me that
This wouldn't be sad
I'll try my best to just smile this time
I second guess things
That's why I just dream
That's the premise of my storyline
So fly away with your balloon

Why does it seem I'm always on the losing side?
My brain keeps telling me to find a safer place and hide
Why does it seem these things keep slipping through my hands
An ampersand is something I won't ever understand
Huh

You promised me that
This wouldn't be sad
I'll try my best to just smile this time
I second guess things
That's why I just dream
That's the premise of my storyline
So fly away with your balloon

So here I sit
All alone where we used to talk
I keep on hoping that I'll see you walking down the block
I'll make pretend
That you're here
Again
