Shiny Red Balloon

I'm keeping my affair in a book
so this is how a villain feels
they're running seasons in my chest
and I'm only to keep them

Chorus:
Maybe it's not true
love on the TV
just like we imagine it
and it's so hard to do
when theres always some distraction
a shiny red balloon
that spoils everything

I'm keeping my affair in a book
such practical and harmless vice
but I'm feeling it could end up painfully
and the TV should apologize

Chorus:
Maybe it's not true
love on the TV
just like we imagine it
and it's so hard to do
when theres always some distraction
a shiny red balloon
that spoils everything

I'm keeping my affair in a book
my long and lonely compromise
how can you live like that my dear
well we do

love on the TV
just like we imagine it
and it's so hard to do
when theres always some distraction
a shiny red balloon
that spoils everything

Chorus:
Maybe it's not true
love on the TV
just like we imagine it
and it's so hard to do
when theres always some distraction
a shiny red balloon
that spoils everything

It spoils everything (7x)
