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
I didn't see him coming under cover of the night I didn't know what hit me he did everything so right quiet as a whisper he's a shadow dressed in black he crept up right behind me with his secret love attack he's the ninja of love he snuck into my heart my defenses were down I was doomed from the start he's the ninja of love he's the one you can't see he's the one in control through the dark he found me he's got special powers caught completely off my guard I wanted to resist him but he's making it so hard a glance in my direction all he needs to see thru me I cannot understand it he remains a mystery he's the ninja of love he snuck into my heart my defenses were down I was doomed from the start he's the ninja of love he's the one you can't see he's the one in control through the dark he found me he's the ninja of love he's the ninja of love (through the dark he found me) (6x)

he looks at her and feels the static she's trying not to catch his eye lots of words but little meaning all he gets when he asks why on the phone, the tension's building staring blankly at the floor apologies and accusations they've both been thru this before (they've both been thru this before) he says ""I miss the way you looked at me"" she says ""I'm sorry but i don't agree"" he says ""it's not the way this has to be"" she says ""what happened to our symmetry"" she's gotten good at dodging questions and he's been covering his tracks like a train wreck in slow motion now it's too late to turn back they're so tired of pretending it's the same thing ever day late at night they lie together but their minds are far away he says ""I miss the way you looked at me"" she says ""I'm sorry but i don't agree"" he says ""it's not the way this has to be"" she says ""what happened to our symmetry"" (2x) it's easy to lose sight of things they had it once, but now it's gone resentment builds up over time forget about who's right or wrong how did it ever come to this when did the line get crossed things just fell apart so fast and now their love is lost (and now their love is lost) he says ""I miss the way you looked at me"" she says ""I'm sorry but i don't agree"" he says ""it's not the way this has to be"" she says ""what happened to our symmetry"" (2x) what happened to our symmetry (2x)
late at nite, the air was cool we snuck into the swimming pool you dove headfirst, I waded in the scent of chlorine upon our skin
the stars were bright, the water clear I felt your heat as you swam near I held my breath, you held my hand moving away, further from land the moon was full, everything blue the water stilled, reflecting you floating right here with you next to me gazing at stars, we drift silently
late at nite, the air was cool we snuck into the swimming pool I went under and you followed let's not think about tomorrow
everything is perfect now (8x) everything is perfect now (I held my breath) everything is perfect now (you held my hand) everything is perfect now (moving away) everything is perfect now (further from land) everything is perfect now (the stars were bright) everything is perfect now (the water clear) everything is perfect now (I felt your heat) everything is perfect now (as you swam near) everything is perfect now (4x)
one night he went out dancing much too soon the night was done so he asked some people over they could keep on having fun he said it's cool, invite some friends a lot of people soon stopped by the house was filled with strangers he let everyone inside then things got a little crazy a few more hours quickly passed slowly people started leaving he was up until the last standing in his living room he surveyed all the mess he gave up and went to bed declared his party a success getting ready the next morning went to put some product in his hair reached over to the bathroom shelf but the 'bedhead' wasn't there he looked under the sink blinked his eyes in disbelief the 'bedhead' was really gone someone at the party was a thief 'bedhead' is expensive that was a shitty thing to do don't drink someone's elses beer and then swipe their belongings too I wrote a song about stealing bikes you know it's not entirely true theft's a lot less awesome when it's happening to you
Tonight i came here on my own, But will i have to leave alone? The music starts i move my feet, I lost my love but found the beat The lights the sound i have no fear and then the smoke it fills the air a splash of pink , a beam of blue
But are we dancing in a dream or is it just the smoke machine we know that this is where we belong Dancing to our favorite songs
is this your usual routine or is it just the drum machine it makes me want to stay all night cause if you ask me to i might
The strobe lit up your perfect face when i turned round you'd left no trace you disappeared into the crowd i disappeared into the cloud the lights the sound i turn and stare and still the smoke it fills the air a splash of green, a beam of blue, and i see you again
But are we dancing in a dream or is it just the smoke machine we know that this is where we belong Dancing to our favorite songs
is this your usual routine or is it just the drum machine it makes me want to stay all night cause if you ask me to i might
The smoke pours down from high above i can just make out your silhouette im not out looking for love let live tonight with no regrets theres more dancing to be done and now your walking back over to me the sounds are loud, the night is young no better time, no better place theres no other place that i'd rather be
or is it just the smoke machine
dancing to our favorite songs
or is it just the drum machine
cause if you ask me to i might
But are we dancing in a dream or is it just the smoke machine we know that this is where we belong Dancing to our favorite songs
is this your usual routine or is it just the drum machine it makes me want to stay all night cause if you ask me to i might
