such a pretty thing
a white balloon on a string
it floats above my head
filled with stuff I should have said
need to tell you how I feel
say it out loud and make it real
could've told you what I knew
that I'm just so amazed by you
you're the coolest boy I know
but it's so hard to just say so
don't mean to keep it all inside
sometimes I get so tongue-tied
thoughts can weigh me down
my balloon dips closer to the ground
I'm hoping that you catch my drift
give my balloon a little lift
thought balloon, above my head
thought balloon, the things I should have said
my thought balloon, I'll set it free
my thought balloon, and lead you here to me
I've been quiet for too long
and I'm gonna take the dare
find a way to let you know
(la la-la la) time to let my secrets go
(la la-la la) I'll pull the words out of thin air
thought balloon, above my head
thought balloon, the things I should have said
my thought balloon, I'll set it free
my thought balloon, and lead you here to me
and finally I'll have my say and then my thought balloon can float away
