[Verse 1] And I watched the Atlantic Ocean rise to meet New York And everyone involved got way too scared that life was way too short And we all sang songs about things wed take back if given the chance, again [Verse 2] And Id never seen the sky a sadder shade of gray And I thought about the words I told you and others I forgot to say So just tell me that youll hold my hand Well stand together here in New York sand [Chorus] Cause were all just chasing red balloons as our sky falls to the ground And the ocean rises up and you refuse to make a sound And everybody falls and then sways as if to beats Except for you and me, weve got promises to keep here on Lucky Street [Verse 3] So many faces that Id hope to soon forget Theyre all just pushing and kicking and screaming in a panicked mournful fit Everyones fighting for just north of here But youre just south and baby Im so scared [Chorus] [PreChorus] Cause were all just chasing red balloons as our sky falls to the ground And the ocean rises up, ocean rises up [Chorus] Were all just chasing red balloons as our sky falls to the ground And the ocean rises up and you refuse to make a sound And everybody falls and then sways as if to beats Except for you and me, weve got promises to keep here on Lucky Street
