Shiny Red Balloon

Im keepin my affair in a book

So this is how a villain feels

Theyre running seasons in my chest

And im only to keep them

Chorus:

Maybe its not true

Love on the tv

Just like we imagine it

And its so hard to do

When theres always some distraction

A shiny red balloon

That spoils everything

Im keepin my affair in a book

Such practical and harmless vice

But im feelin it could end up painfully

And the tv should apologize

Im keepin my affair in a book

My long and lonely compromise

How can you live like that my dear

Well we do

It spoils everything
