Balloon
Hang Ten Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think I see it now
Can't believe it how I missed it once
Who's been keeping count?
I can't leave, I'm looking for a rush
I would like to like myself
I wonder why
I would like to like myself
I wonder why
Through another round
I hate these people and I hate this town
Never been this loud
It doesn't matter I'm just mouthing sounds
I would like to like myself
I wonder why
I would like to like myself
I wonder why
(Never been this loud)
(Never been this loud)
I would like to like myself
I wonder why
(Never been this loud)
(It doesn't matter I'm just mouthing sounds)
I would like to like myself
I wonder why
(Never been this loud)
(It doesn't matter I'm just mouthing sounds)
(It doesn't matter I'm just mouthing sounds)




I would like to like myself
(It doesn't matter I'm just mouthing sounds)

Alright, I think we got the spanish sub working but if not, the lyrics are:

creo que lo veo ahora
No puedo creer que no lo haya visto antes
¿Quién ha estado llevando la cuenta?
No puedo irme, busco un rush

me gustaria gustarme
me pregunto porque
me gustaria gustarme
me pregunto porque

A través de otra ronda
Odio a esta gente y odio esta ciudad
Nunca había sido tan ruidoso
No importa, solo estoy pronunciando sonidos

me gustaria gustarme
me pregunto porque
me gustaria gustarme
me pregunto porque
me gustaria gustarme
me pregunto porque
me gustaria gustarme
me pregunto porque
