Paper Kite

[Verse 1] Found a paper kite By the corner store Blue tape on the tail And a bend in the core I tied it to my wrist Like it knew my name Wind caught one good breath And the whole thing changed [Pre-Chorus] Up, up, up it went Over bread and bikes Past the laundry lines Past a dog in white [Chorus] Paper kite, paper kite Run with me tonight Paper kite, paper kite Shake the sky alive Pull the string Hold on tight Paper kite, paper kite Don't let go tonight [Verse 2] It kissed a billboard edge Then it dove again Spun above the lot By the rusted fence Kids on folding chairs Cheered from the curb A man in work boots smiled Like he'd seen it first [Pre-Chorus] Up, up, up it went Over bread and bikes Past the laundry lines Past a dog in white [Chorus] Paper kite, paper kite Run with me tonight Paper kite, paper kite Shake the sky alive Pull the string Hold on tight Paper kite, paper kite Don't let go tonight [Bridge] Tie your days to air Let them tug you some If the string goes wild That means you're still up [Final Chorus] Paper kite, paper kite Run with me tonight Paper kite, paper kite Shake the sky alive Pull the string Hold on tight Paper kite, paper kite Don't let go tonight
