Free as a Paper Kite

歌词

[Verse 1] You left your blue cup by the window And a note beneath the key Said, “Take the long road past the harbor There’s a better view to see” [Pre-Chorus] I packed one shirt, a worn-out map And the change inside my shoe No grand plan, no looking back Just a morning made for two [Chorus] Free as a paper kite Pulling at the summer sky You take my hand, I lose the weight And every little mile feels right Free, let the old doors close We’ll find out where the wild wind goes No need to know what comes next I’m finally breathing with my whole chest [Verse 2] We bought peaches from a roadside stand Paid with coins and borrowed time Your laugh shook loose the dusty afternoon Like a bell from down the line [Pre-Chorus] The road bent past the wheat fields Turned gold beneath our wheels Somewhere past the county sign I remembered how hope feels [Chorus] Free as a paper kite Pulling at the summer sky You take my hand, I lose the weight And every little mile feels right Free, let the old doors close We’ll find out where the wild wind goes No need to know what comes next I’m finally breathing with my whole chest [Bridge] If tomorrow brings a question We can answer when it comes Tonight the porch is wide enough For all the selves we’ve run from [Final Chorus] Free as a paper kite Pulling at the summer sky You take my hand, I lose the weight And every little mile feels right Free, with the windows down Singing till we leave this town No need to know what comes next I’m finally breathing with my whole chest [Outro] Blue cup, open road Nothing heavy left to hold
