Kite

For ten AM, I set my clock
I crawl into bed and I wait for the day to stop, stop
Sleeping alone again tonight
I search for a trace of you here on this pillow side, side
The beauty in the world can cut you
For every boy or girl that shut you down
A field, the run, the rain, the bottle
A song was sung, I open the throttle and fly
I am a kite and the strong survive
To sail out on the wind
Without a note, I cut the rope
This is not the end
The sun comes through the window like
The gaze of God, sunny day sky, sky
A key appears like a lightning strike
I search for a trace of you here by this fireside, side
The beauty in the world can cut you
Was there a girl or boy that shut you down?
A field, the run, the rain, the bottle
A song was sung, I open the window and fly
I am a kite and the strong survive
To sail out on the wind
Without a note, I cut the rope
This is not the end
It's 2:58, I'm still lying here awake
I can't close my eyes without seeing our fate
I thought I could decide to shrug and be fine
But our love was licorice, not totally sweet
Sometimes delicious then salt like the sea
How can I untie and cast off this line?
I am a kite and the strong survive
To sail out on the wind
I am a kite and the strong survive
To sail out on the wind
Without a note, I cut the rope
This is not the end
This is not the end
I am a kite and the strong survive
To sail out on the wind
This is not
