I know why you walked away from me Like a boy who got his kite caught in a tree Tangled string and hair fighting with the air And tears wonu0027t bring it back down to the ground Oh, no Kitchen table alter in the sun Hearts were starved where we became undone Sitting in our chairs, heavy empty stares With nothing left to say after goodbye Oh, no SOME PEOPLE RUN AND LAUGH AND DONu0027T CARE IF THEY CRASH SOME STAY STANDING STILL AND LET THE WIND WEAR DOWN THEIR WILL AND THATu0027S YOU AND ME AND KITES Quiet dancing through the petulance Words like branches sharp as bayonets Tiptoe on the shells, fickle hearted spells Back and forth we pulled til we were torn Oh, no SOME PEOPLE RUN AND LAUGH AND DONu0027T CARE IF THEY CRASH SOME STAY STANDING STILL AND LET THE WIND WEAR DOWN THEIR WILL AND THATu0027S YOU AND ME AND KITES
