Thought Balloon Songtext
von Fishboy

When the trial started Monday, I decided to represent myself
They called it on TV, the trial of the century
It was covered endlessly for months
And months on end, I tried to defend
All the actions I had made

When the jury found me guilty, they
Said "lock him up, throw away the key
His songs are out of tune and ghosts are only thought balloons
And never talking parachutes at all"
And all the while, all I could do was smile
′Cause I knew things would never be the same

'Cause the best part is knowing that I finally fixed my broke heart
Knowing that I get to make a new start even if it′s in jail
It wasn't easy, but no one ever told me that it would be
Now I gotta say that I am relieved, relieved even though I failed
Oh yeah, I failed


So I said goodbye to my family, the friends I made on the way
I said "don't cry, oh believe me, I am in a better place"
They laughed in disbelief and asked what did I mean
I told them that the best was yet to come

′Cause the best part is knowing that I finally fixed my broke heart
Knowing that I get to make a new start even if it′s in jail
It wasn't easy, but no one ever told me that it would be
Now I gotta say that I am relieved, relieved even though I failed
Oh yeah, I failed

But he showed up and apologized
He said "maybe saving Texas was a little overhyped
But don′t worry, we'll meet again someday"

And the best part is knowing that I finally fixed my broke heart
Knowing that I get to make a new start even if it′s in jail
It wasn't easy, but no one ever told me that it would be
Now I gotta say that I am relieved, relieved even though I failed
Oh yeah, I failed
Oh yeah, I failed
