lyrics

He’s a floater, a kite without a string
Drifting over the petty practicalities
I am tethered, always working, always worried
I don’t want to weigh him down

He is bound for the edges and the heights
The tallest mountains, the furthest stretch of sky
From the ground I wonder, could I soar that high?
I don’t want to weigh him down

I could be free as any sparrow
What burdens me is in my head
Sometimes seems I’m not the one that holds it
It holds me instead

He said that love is no castle in the air
That I’m half of us, the burden should be fair
But there are some things I don’t know if I can share
I don’t want to weigh him down
