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
