Kites Lyrics

Dada dada da da

Dada dada da da da

Dada da dada

Dada dada da da

Dada dada da da da

Dada da dada

I don't wanna wax poetic

On this shade of rose

I sing it so you won't forget it

How the days have flown

With cicadas harmonizing

Through the summer

Nights are when I sleep alone

And dream of you so long along

I'm trying

(I'm trying)

I'm trying

Nights are when you're not at home

Sleeping soundly not alone

You're trying

(You're trying)

You're trying

Dada dada da da

Dada dada da da da

Dada da dada

Dada dada da da

Dada dada da da da

Dada da dada

Forgive me if I seek

The answers not provided

While carefully obscured

But all the second guessing

Does is paralyze

Conflating cause and words

Filling in the glaring blanks

Like mad libs of the heart

Subtle pointers here and there

No framing from the start

With cicadas harmonizing

Through the summer

Nights are when I sleep alone

And dream of you so long along

I'm trying

(I'm trying)

I'm trying

Nights are when you're not at home

Sleeping soundly not alone

You're trying

(You're trying)

You're trying

(I'm trying)

To pick myself up out of bed

And face the mirror's reflection

I'd rather face the sheets instead

The creases lie with me again

I don't wanna tell you

How I felt that night

Still drifting like a wayward kite

I'm flying

(I'm flying)

Well trying

I remember how

You said that I should leave

(I should leave)

And fill the gaps with memories

Of flying

(I'm flying)

You're thriving

In the crowds

That cloud

My mind
