u2 - kite lyrics

something
is about to give
i can feel it coming
i think i know what it is

i'm not afraid to die
i'm not afraid to live
and when i'm flat on my back
i hope to feel like i did

and hardness
it sets in
you need some protection
the thinner the skin

i want you to know
that you don't need me anymore
i want you to know
you don't need anyone
or anything at all

who's to say where the wind will take you
who's to say what it is will break you
i don't know
which way the wind will blow

who's to know when the time has come around
don't want to see you cry
i know that this is not goodbye

it's somewhere i can taste the salty sea
there's a kite blowing out of control on the breeze
i wonder what's gonna happen to you
you wonder what has happened to me

i'm a man
i'm not a child
a man who sees
the shadow behind your eyes

who's to say where the wind will take you
who's to say what it is will break you
i don't know
where the wind will blow

who's to know when the time has come around
i don't want to see you cry
i know that this is not goodbye

did i waste it
not so much i couldn't taste it
life should be fragrant
rooftop to the basement

the last of the rocks stars
when hip-hop drove the big cars
in the time when new media
was the big idea
what was the big idea
