Verse 1
That kite is covered with patches one by one
Marks left on the tree when you first flew under the sun
I mended it long yet never could I part with it not one
Just like that dusk when you scraped your knee all alone
I hurt more than you yet pretended to be unknown
Verse 2
The wilderness today the wind runs wild and free
You hold the spool tight eyes brighter than the sky you see
I know this moment was meant to be
It’s not the string broken but you refuse to be tied to me
The butterfly that once circled in my palm tenderly
Will finally soar deep into the clouds wild and free
Chorus
Then let it break before I regret inside
Don’t look back at me lest my tears make me weak and hide
You always ask if the other side of sky is beautiful and bright
I smile but dare not say it’s cold and dark at height
This world is wide you have to stumble and feel it by your side
I won’t be your shore to hold you back from flight
Just be the dust beneath your feet lifting you to the light
Bridge
The soft sound of the string breaking
Just like the sound of you closing the door leaving home when young
I didn’t chase just stood in the wind standing as a wall strong
Blocking all the gossip behind letting you rush along
Outro
Clouds are deep sky is dim
You become a dot fading in the rim
In my hand only half the warmth I failed to give him
It’s okay from now on we walk our own dim
You chase the wind I return to the twilight dim
