Yellow Balloon?

We lost a friend today
We'll just pretend to pray
And we won't cry about it, we didn't like him anyway
We'll tuck the pain inside
Better just to wait and hide
Say goodbye forever through the shadows cast on lazy eyes
The more I think about it, we were just kids
Listening to death music, looking for excuses to live
With all our vampire makeup on, we were just kids
But just you wait until you see what we did

And we can climb up on the rooftops when it gets dark
And shout the names of all our lovers to the beat of our hearts
And we can smash out all the windows under the moon
But will it save use from the weight of growing up too soon?

Where is your yellow balloon?
Where is your yellow balloon?
Where is your yellow balloon?
Where is your yellow balloon?

Don't let go!
We're not growing old, no means no
We can paint our eyes all shades of black
We can get black eyes and baseball bats
We can get baptized in the blood of the cool
And we'll still be chastized in front of the school
Bracelet wraps hide the razor wrists
Storms that chaptise relationships

The more I think about it, we were just kids
But just you wait until you see what we did

And we can climb up on the rooftops when it gets dark
And shout the names of all our lovers to the beat of our hearts
And we can smash out all the windows under the moon
But will it save use from the weight of growing up too soon?

Where is your yellow balloon?
Where is your yellow balloon?
Where is your yellow balloon?
Where is your yellow balloon?

Youth (youth)
Floating (floating)
Up into the air like balloons (balloons)
Growing just enough to care
But the truth isn't fair, isn't there
Some sort of voice that isn't there
Running from the choices you made
And the boys that you played
The poison has joined the parade

The more I think about it, we were just kids
But just you wait until you see what we did

And we can climb up on the rooftops when it gets dark
And shout the names of all our lovers to the beat of our hearts
And we can smash out all the windows under the moon
But will it save use from the weight of growing up too soon?

Where is your yellow balloon?
Where is your yellow balloon?
Where is your yellow balloon?
Where is your yellow balloon?

Where is your yellow balloon?

(Yellow balloon)
(Yellow balloon)
(Yellow balloon)
(Yellow balloon)
