Lyrics for Kite
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 or 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 want to see you cry I know that this is not goodbye In summer I can taste the salt of the sea There's a kite blowing out of control on the 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 want to 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 rocks stars
