[Verse 1]
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 wound 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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
La la la la la la
La la la la la la

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
