The Paper Kites - Youth lyrics

We only wake 'cause our eyes are open
Open so wide, we walk in the dark
Trying so hard to keep what we're losing
Using our feet to show them the movements

And they wake up and they go out
And they wake up and they go out
And they wake up and they go out
Head in a cloud

We were like them before we were older
Just let them grow to be as we are
Still only speak with wording of caution
So when we reap what we're pulling forward

And they wake up and they go out
And they wake up and they go out
And they wake up and they go out
Head in a cloud
We can look down, see what we were
Shaking our fingers then losing our words
We're on our way, we don't go out
Head in a cloud

Brush goes through their hair
Time runs faster
I know even so, we all need time to grow
Brush goes through their hair
Time runs faster
I know even so, we all need time to grow
