Kite lyrics

Something is about to give

I can feel it coming

I think I know what it is

I'm not afraid to die

I'm not afraid to live

And when I'm flat on my back

I hope to feel like I did

And hardness, it sets in

You need some protection

The thinner the skin

I want you to know

That you don't need me anymore

I want you to know

You don't need anyone, anything at all

Who's to say where the wind will take you?

Who's to say what it is will break you?

I don't know which way the wind will blow

Who's to know when the time has come around?

Don't wanna see you cry

I know that this is not goodbye

In summer I can taste the salt in the sea

There's a kite blowing out of control on a breeze

I wonder what's gonna happen to you

You wonder what has happened to me

I'm a man, I'm not a child

A man who sees

The shadow behind your eyes

Who's to say where the wind will take you?

Who's to say what it is will break you?

I don't know where the wind will blow

Who's to know when the time has come around?

I don't wanna see you cry

I know that this is not goodbye

Did I waste it?

Not so much, I couldn't taste it

Life should be fragrant

Rooftop to the basement

The last of the rock stars

When hip-hop drove the big cars

In the time when new media

Was the big idea

That was the big idea
