**VERSE 1**
We wrote a prelude, for our own fairy tale
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 roamed 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 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.
**VERSE 2**
We drank the great lakes, like cold lemonade
And both got stomach aches, sprawled out in the shade.
Swore to death you held your breath, and I tried not to yawn.
You made 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.
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 treetops over town.
I can't wait to kiss the ground, wherever we touch back down.
