The 77s
Kites Without Strings
[Verse 1]
I was high
Like a kite you pulled me through
When you ran
I followed you
Clipped at the wings
You held all my strings
I was taught
But never learned a thing

[Bridge]
Is it any wonder
I came crashing down?
When I did, I hit solid ground
(So hard)
Was it all a blunder
Or were all those years I spent
Head in clouds heaven-sent?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Gotta learn to walk before you run
You flew before you learned either one

[Chorus]
Now you're gone
You're gone
Now you're gone
You're gone
[Verse 2]
Tangled in you
I aimed for the wild blue
When I hit the ground
What a bitter earth I found
Kites without strings
Fly on to bigger things
But you brought me down
You were determined, I was bound

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You can't fly away from who you are
You tried, and you drifted way too far

[Chorus]
Now you're gone
You're gone
Now you're gone
You're gone

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Flying on the ground is always wrong
I let it go, but you kept holding on
[Chorus]
Now you're gone
You're gone
Now you're gone
You're gone
Now you're gone
You're gone
Now you're gone
You're gone
