I wonder how she/
thinks I should act when she bursts/
my joyous balloon?

I wonder how folks /
think I should act when they burst/
my joyous balloon ?

joy’s dancing balloon?
Arrhythmia: When/
you don’t want a girl who makes/
your heart skip a beat.
When the happy guy/
gets sick, he discovers that/
the world keeps spinning.
Or
the world keeps turning.
The more folks tell me/
I shouldn’t be some way, the/
more I want to leave.
If you missed going/
but then go more than planned, does/
that make up for it?
Should I tell folks how/
to be better? Much better/
is if I go do.

We’re hopeful, not hopeless, romantics.
