[Verse 1]
I put my heart in a red balloon
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

[Chorus]
The sky is full of red balloons
Red balloons are full of broken hearts
Broken hearts are floatin' by a chance

Will they burst or drift into arms?
Will they burst or drift into arms?

[Verse 2]
I put my voice in a red balloon
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

[Chorus]
The sky is full of red balloons
Red balloons are full of broken hearts
Broken hearts are floatin' by a chance
Will they burst or drift into arms?
Will they burst or drift into arms?

[Bridge]
I put my eyes in a red balloon
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

[Chorus]
The sky is full of red balloons
Red balloons are full of broken hearts
Broken hearts are floatin' by a chance

Will they burst or drift into arms?
Will they burst or drift into arms?

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
They could burst or drift into arms
Into arms
