I hid myself from failure and fear

Or the grace in your eyes overcomes any fall
Pre-Chorus:

All through the twilight you’re listening for me
Fm D# D Gm
Darling, go to sleep

Cradled by moonlight, I’m dreaming we’ll be
Fm D# D Gm
Loved so deep
Chorus:
C C/B C/A# Dm
Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string
Eo C D(B5) C#o
‘Till you cut through my tether and changed everything
C C/B C/A# Dm
From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same

And when they say that I’m just a terrible kite
