Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Skinned knees on the pavement
Cherry gum in my pocket
Backpack full of lightning
And a key I never locked with
I laugh too loud in hallways
I run when they call my name
I still taste summer rain
On my tongue like a dare
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me I’m too small
I’ll climb that wall
Tell me I won’t
I will, I will
Hands on my heart
I’m not falling apart
I’m just learning
How to burn
[Chorus]
Paper kites, don’t break
Paper kites, still shake
I’m young, I’m wild
I’m not made to stay
Paper kites, go high
Paper kites, don’t lie
If I fall, I fall
With my whole sky
[Verse 2]
Locker door full of stickers
Soft bruises, silver glitter
I keep my secrets folded
In the cuff of my sweater
My phone glows in the dark
But I’m still looking out
For the girl I was
When the world got loud
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me I’m too small
I’ll climb that wall
Tell me I won’t
I will, I will
Hands on my heart
I’m not falling apart
I’m just learning
How to burn
[Chorus]
Paper kites, don’t break
Paper kites, still shake
I’m young, I’m wild
I’m not made to stay
Paper kites, go high
Paper kites, don’t lie
If I fall, I fall
With my whole sky
[Bridge]
[Half-time breakdown]
I bend in the wind
Then I come back bright
A spark in the throat
Of the endless night
You can call it a phase
I call it my name
I was born to glow
Then I learned to flame
[Final Chorus]
Paper kites, don’t break
Paper kites, still shake
I’m young, I’m wild
I’m not made to stay
Paper kites, go high
Paper kites, don’t lie
If I fall, I fall
With my whole sky
[Outro]
Paper kites
Still high
Paper kites
I’m alive
