We lost a friend today,
We'll just pretend to pray
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 make-up on,
We were just kids,
But just you wait until you see what we did.
And we can climb up on the roof top 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 us from the weight of growing up to soon?
Where is your yellow balloon
Where is your yellow balloon?
(Don't let go, let go)
Don't let go, were 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 will still be chastised in front of the school
Bracelet wraps razor wrists
Storms chastise 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 roof top 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 us from the weight of growing up to soon?
Where is your yellow balloon
Where is your yellow balloon?
(Don't let go, let go)
Youth (youth)
Floating (floating) up into the air,
Like balloons (balloons)
Growing (growing) just enough to care
But the truth isn't fair, isn't there
Some sorta voice that isn't there
Runnin' from the choices you made
And the voice that you play with poison join 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 roof top 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 us from the weight of growing up to soon?
Where is your yellow balloon
Where is your yellow balloon?
(Don't let go, let go)
