[Verse 1] Found a string in the gutter Bright blue Tied to my shoe Half a balloon from a Tuesday party Guess someone left in a rush too Walked past chalk on the sidewalk Names in a crooked heart frame Rain tried to blur it this morning But you can still read the faint Faded name [Chorus] We’re all leftover balloons Half full Still hanging on Drifting over old rooms After the crowd moved on A little deflated Still colored and true Caught in the rafters Waiting on you [Verse 2] Passed by a kid at the crosswalk Holding three in his hand Watched one slip from his fingers He stared as it ran for the clouds No plan I thought about you in that moment How I slipped right out of your grasp You kept my notes on your mirror for months Now they’re stuffed in a forgotten bag [Chorus] We’re all leftover balloons Half full Still hanging on Drifting over old rooms After the crowd moved on A little deflated Still colored and true Caught in the rafters Waiting on you [Bridge] Maybe we don’t need a ceiling Maybe we learn to let go (let go) Floating through traffic and telephone wires Till some new hand says hello [Chorus] We’re all leftover balloons Half full Still hanging on Drifting over old rooms After the crowd moved on A little deflated Still colored and true Caught in the rafters Waiting on you
