My heart is filled, with love and care Not an ounce of gas, I would get up there The answer's simple You lift me up The view up here, I see all the stars There go Venus, and there go Mars Somethin' you been through You're from above Hey, when I first saw you, I got excited Tried to keep my composure, tryna hide it But I didn't know I didn't let go Then it occurred to me while tryna fight it Just like a kite, you learn to ride it But I didn't know You're s'posed to let it go Like a gust of wind You hit me off sometimes Like a gust of wind You push me back every once in a while Like a gust of wind You remind me there's someone up there Who whooshes in The air I need to power myself When I open the window I wanna hug you 'Cause you remind me of the air I said yeah 'Cause when I'm feelin' real low I remember I love you I put my hands in the air And you were there With your love, I can board the skies Finding a way that electrifies, mother's your other Cannot stow away Telephone winds of the northern sky Is the closest thing, and here is why 'Cause we're color You blow me away I need you, like I'm breathing Music umbrellas can make one cover Who cares if they don't see you? Don't you know that they're the same? I need it like I'm breathing If you never discover, forever you'll suffer Who cares if they don't see you? You got until then to learn the way Like a gust of wind You hit me off sometimes Like a gust of wind You push me back every once in a while Like a gust of wind You remind me there's someone up there Who whooshes in The air I need to power myself When I open the window I wanna hug you 'Cause you remind me of the air I said yeah 'Cause when I'm feelin' real low I remember I love you I put my hands in the air And you were there When I first saw you, I got excited Tried to keep my composure, tryna hide it But I didn't know I didn't let go Then I realized I'm tryna fight it Just so they can learn to ride it But I didn't know I had to let it go
