Lead Balloon Lyrics

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 darling, 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

The Drifter and The Gypsy

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 darling, 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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
