Lyrics
Mm
Mm (Instrumental, no specific meaning)
Mm
-Mm
-I put my heart in a red balloon
The singer invested emotions into something represented by a red balloon, but regrets releasing it too soon on a boulevard where harsh challenges exist.
But I let it go to soon
-Let it go on the boulevard
-Where wicked winds blow so hard
-Maybe had I looked up I would have seen that
The realization that looking up might have revealed a different perspective or outcome.
The sky is full of red balloons
Description of a sky filled with red balloons, symbolizing broken hearts that may either burst or find solace in someone's arms.
Red balloons are full of broken hearts
-Broken hearts are floating by a chance
-Will they burst or drift
-Into arms
-Will they burst or drift
-Into arms
-I put my voice in a red balloon
The singer placed her voice in a red balloon, which sang numerous tunes for someone. However, she let it go with the breeze, possibly indicating a lack of control or a decision to let go.
For you it sang too many tunes
-Haunted by those melodies
-I let it go with the breeze
-Maybe had I looked up I would have seen that
The missed opportunity to notice a different perspective.
The sky is full of red balloons
Reiteration of the imagery of the sky filled with red balloons carrying broken hearts, questioning whether they will find comfort or face further distress.
Red balloons are full of broken hearts
-Broken hearts are floating by a chance
-Will they burst or drift
-Into arms
-Will they burst or drift
-Into arms
-I put my eyes in a red balloon
The singer placed her eyes in a red balloon to watch someone under the moonlight. However, witnessing the person with someone else led to a decision to set them free.
To watch you with the light of the moon
-But seeing you holding hands
-With another girl and making plans
-Well I just had to set you free
-And finally see, that
The realization of the need to let go and understand the reality of the situation.
The sky is full of red balloons
Reiteration of the theme, questioning whether the broken hearts encapsulated in red balloons will find solace or face further challenges.
Red balloons are full of broken hearts
-Broken hearts are floating by a chance
-Will they burst or drift
-Into arms
-Will they burst or drift
-Into arms
-Mm
Mm (Instrumental, no specific meaning)
Mm
-They could burst or drift
-Into arms
-Into arms
Emphasizing the uncertainty of whether the red balloons will burst or drift into comforting arms.
