Owl City - Hot Air Balloon

Hot Air Balloon

We wrote a prelude 

to our own fairytale.
And bought a parachute 

at a church rummage sale
And with a mean sewing machine 

and miles of thread
We sewed the day 

above L.A. in navy and red.
We round a racetrack 

through your mom's kitchen chairs
And fought the shadows back 

down your dark basement stairs.
I lit a match and let it catch 

to light up the room.
And then you yelled 

as we beheld an old maroon.

Hot air balloon

I'll be out of my mind
and you'll be out of ideas pretty soon.
So let's spend the afternoon
in a cold hot air balloon.
Leave your jacket behind.
Lean out and touch the tree tops over town.
I can't wait to kiss the ground 

wherever we touch back down.

la la la la la la
la la la la la la

We drank the great lakes 

like cold lemonade.
And both got stomach aches 

sprawled out in the shade.
So bored to death you held your breath 

and I tried not to yawn.
You make my frown turn upside down 

and now my worries are gone.

I'll be out of my mind
and you'll be out of ideas pretty soon.
So let's spend the afternoon
in a cold hot air balloon.
Leave your jacket behind
Lean out and touch the tree tops over town.
I can't wait to kiss the ground 

wherever we touch back down.

I'll be out of my mind
and you'll be out of ideas pretty soon.
So let's spend the afternoon
in a cold hot air balloon.
Leave your jacket behind
Lean out and touch the tree tops over town.
I can't wait to kiss the ground 

wherever we touch back down.
