Verse 1

I hid myself from failure and fear

Oh my dear you’re 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 you’re listening for me

Darling, go to sleep

Cradled by moonlight, I’m dreaming we’ll 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 I’m just a terrible kite

You’ll tell them you’re proud of my marvelous flight

Verse 2

Don’t hide yourself inside ‘till I’m old

Oh my dear you’re a threat to the bad we all see

I’m 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 I’m just a terrible kite

You’ll tell them you’re proud of my marvelous flight
