Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everyone in my head now
Can get out
I don't wanna be a let down
So I float around
Remember the day my feet found
Solid ground
Thought I couldn't see a way out when
[PreChorus]
I saw you
I saw you
I saw you
I saw you
[Chorus]
Heaven sent December fools
After Homer, afternoons
Spent dancing with the bulls
Red Corolla, black balloon
Black balloon, black balloon
Red Corolla, black balloon
Black balloon, black balloon
[Verse 2]
Throw the clothes in the bathtub
Fill it half up
Stains from paint and grass and mud
Bleach in a cup
All good things go belly up
I'd had enough
'Cause I forgot what I was tryna do
[PreChorus]
Fight for you
Fight for you
Fight for you
Fight for you
[Chorus]
Heaven sent December fools
After Homer, afternoons
Spent dancing with the bulls
Red Corolla, black balloon
Black balloon, black balloon
Red Corolla, black balloon
Black balloon, black balloon
[Bridge]
Things get heavy at the wrong time
All wrapped up, what does that feel like?
No more waiting on the outside
Compost thoughts that want to ignite
[Verse 3]
Time will wear you down
And light will find you out
But the ones who turned their chairs around
Where are they now?
[PreChorus]
They don't see you
Like I see you
Like I see you
Like I see you
[Chorus]
Heaven sent December fools
After Homer, afternoons
Spent dancing with the bulls
Red Corolla, black balloon
Black balloon, black balloon
Red Corolla, black balloon
Black balloon, black balloon
[Outro]
Things get heavy at the wrong time
All wrapped up, what does that feel like?
No more waiting on the outside
Compost thoughts that want to ignite
