Katie Melua - Red Balloons Lyrics

Artist: Katie Melua

Album: The House

Genre: Blues

  • Songwriters: Katie Melua, Polly Scattergood

I put my heart in a red balloon
But I let it go too soon, let it go on the boulevard
Where wicked winds blow so hard
Maybe had I looked up I would have seen that

The sky is full of red balloons
Red balloons are full of broken hearts
Broken hearts are floating by a chance
Will they burst or drift into arms?
Will they burst or drift into arms?

I put my voice in a red balloon
For you it sang too many tunes haunted by those melodies
I let it go with the breeze
Maybe had I looked up I would have seen that

The sky is full of red balloons
Red balloons are full of broken hearts
Broken hearts are floating by a chance
Will they burst or drift into arms?
Will they burst or drift into arms?

I put my eyes in a red balloon
To watch you with the light of the moon
But seeing you holding hands
With another girl and making plans
Well, I just had to set you free and finally see that

The sky is full of red balloons
Red balloons are full of broken hearts
Broken hearts are floating by a chance
Will they burst or drift into arms?
Will they burst or drift into arms?

They burst or drift into arms
Into arms
