[Verse 1] Found a paper kite In the backseat sun Bent one corner down Like it almost done String wrapped round a pencil Receipt in the box I traced your name once On the little knot [Pre-Chorus] You said, let it fly Let it shake the sky I held on too tight Till the tail ran dry [Chorus] Paper kite, paper kite Pull me up tonight Paper kite, paper kite Spin me till I’m light Catch the wind, don’t let go Let me wobble, let me show Paper kite, paper kite Pull me up tonight [Verse 2] Now it lives on my wall With a thumbtack pin Little battle scar From the rain and wind When the day goes flat And the room feels small I look at that frame And I stand up tall [Pre-Chorus] You said, let it fly Let it shake the sky I held on too tight Till the tail ran dry [Chorus] Paper kite, paper kite Pull me up tonight Paper kite, paper kite Spin me till I’m light Catch the wind, don’t let go Let me wobble, let me show Paper kite, paper kite Pull me up tonight [Bridge] If I slip, if I fall If I lose the thread I’ll still make a shape Out of what you said [Final Chorus] Paper kite, paper kite Pull me up tonight Paper kite, paper kite Spin me till I’m light Catch the wind, don’t let go Let me wobble, let me show Paper kite, paper kite Pull me up tonight
