Kites

Fake friends waste my time Hide behind tear stains and alibis Arson nightly Lighting fires Burned our incense on the pyres Sing the swan song with the choirs Watching angels through the wires Stand up in ashes Flex your pride Please don't stand so close to mine Love sick summer nights Pass me under the bright lights Chase me to my flight Watch me reach new heights Kites Don't call me up I won't pick up We've said enough I called your bluff I saved myself, moved two floors up My sneakers pound My speakers up Say what you want, It's just not love I'm riding waves I let them come to wash you away Forget that I knew you You'll ask me to stay But I'll see right through you The candle's burned out There's smoke in the mirror I'm drowning in doubt but seeing much clearer Love-sick summer nights Pass me under the bright lights Chase me to my flight Watch me reach new heights, kites Love-sick summer nights Pass me under the bright lights Chase me to my flight Watch me reach new heights, kites I miss the days back when we were savages Just a wannabe and still looked at as average I'm cool now That didn't happen by accident I used to be content Now my swaggers got me ravenous Flip on my jam and it'll bandage all your damages Clip on the cam, friends around me had to laugh at it I'm giving my all in to the first qualified candidate Nobody can hurt or help it I'll love you for your candor or your lack of it I went to school for the apathetic, now I'm a graduate Saw the way you moved, now I'm an advocate Terrifying things come in very fine packages I asked about your status and I heard you were a capulet But I'm a pacifist Let's take a figurative stab at this Tell me you're down and I'll get your name on a laminate It's okay if you're bent on being passionless Okay I'll call you a cab if you just admit you're bad at this Love-sick summer nights Pass me under the bright lights Chase me to my flight Watch me reach new heights, kites Love-sick summer nights Pass me under the bright lights Chase me to my flight Watch me reach new heights, kites Love-sick summer nights Pass me under the bright lights Chase me to my flight Watch me reach new heights, kites
