Kite (Live From The Fleet Center, Boston, MA, USA / 2001)
This is a, this, this song is about letting go of
Someone you don’t want to let go of
Could be a lover, could be father
Could be, could be a child, could be a friend
I don’t know
This is Kite
(Stop crying)
Something is about to give
I can feel it coming
I think I know what it is
I’m not afraid to die
I’m not afraid to live
But when I’m flat on my back
I hope to feel like I did
‘Cause hardness, it sets in
You need some protection
The thinner the skin
I want you to know
That you don’t need me anymore
I want you to know
You don’t need anyone
Or anything at all
Who’s to say where the wind will take you?
Who’s to say what it is will break you?
I don’t know, which way the wind will blow
Who’s to know if the time has come around?
Don’t want to see you cry
But I know that this is not goodbye
Summer, I can taste the salt of the sea
There’s a kite blowing out of control on the breeze
I wonder what’s gonna happen to you
You wonder what has happened to me…
(Child)
I’m a man, I’m not a child…
A man who sees
The shadow behind your eyes
Who’s to say where the wind will take you?
Who’s to say what it is will break you?
I don’t know which way the wind will blow
Who’s to know when the time has come around?
Don’t want to see you cry
But I know that this is not goodbye
Did I waste it?
Not so much I couldn’t taste it
Life should be fragrant
Rooftop to the basement
The last of the rocks stars
When hip hop drove the big cars
In the time when new media
Was the big idea
That was the big idea
Big idea
It’s summer, I can taste the salt of the sea
There’s a kite blowing out of control on a breeze
I wonder what’s gonna happen to you
You wonder what has happened to me…
Thanks for hanging around…
