Verse 1
I hid myself from failure and fear
Oh my dear youre a threat to the bad in us all
They tell themselves that each word from your lips
Or the grace in your eyes overcomes any fall
Pre-chorus
All through the twilight youre listening for me
Darling, go to sleep
Cradled by moonlight, Im dreaming well be
Loved so deep
Chorus
Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string
Till you cut through my tether and changed everything
From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same
So I darted back quickly to spell out your name
And when they say that Im just a terrible kite
Youll tell them youre proud of my marvelous flight
Verse 2
Dont hide yourself inside till Im old
Oh my dear youre a threat to the bad we all see
Im beside myself for the touch of your lips
Or the grace of your eyes that can see good in me
(Pre-Chorus)
Chorus
Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string
Till you cut through my tether and changed everything
From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same
So I darted back quickly to spell out your name
And when they say that Im just a terrible kite
Youll tell them youre proud of my marvelous flight
