Kites Lyrics

I know why you walked away from me
Like a boy who got his kite caught in a tree
Tangled string and hair fighting with the air
And tears won’t bring it back down to the ground
Oh, no
Kitchen table alter in the sun
Hearts were starved where we became undone
Sitting in our chairs, heavy empty stares
With nothing left to say after goodbye
Oh, no
SOME PEOPLE RUN AND LAUGH
AND DON’T CARE IF THEY CRASH
SOME STAY STANDING STILL
AND LET THE WIND WEAR DOWN THEIR WILL
AND THAT’S YOU AND ME AND KITES

Quiet dancing through the petulance
Words like branches sharp as bayonets
Tiptoe on the shells, fickle hearted spells
Back and forth we pulled til we were torn
Oh, no
SOME PEOPLE RUN AND LAUGH
AND DON’T CARE IF THEY CRASH
SOME STAY STANDING STILL
AND LET THE WIND WEAR DOWN THEIR WILL
AND THAT’S YOU AND ME AND KITES
