The Paper Kites Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the sun is coming through
Oh, you fill my lungs with sweetness
And you fill my head with you
Shall I write it in a letter?
Shall I try to get it down?
Oh, you fill my head with pieces
Of a song I can't get out
Can I be close to you?
Oh-oh-oh-ooh, ooh
Can I be close to you?
Ooh, ooh
Can I take it to a morning
Where the fields are painted gold
And the trees are filled with memories
Of the feelings never told?
When the evening pulls the sun down
And the day is almost through
Oh, the whole world it is sleeping
But my world is you
Can I be close to you (ah)?
Ooh (aah), ooh (aah)
Can I be close to you (ah)?
Ooh (aah), ooh (aah)
Can I be close to you (ah)?
Ooh (aah), ooh (aah)
Can I be close to you (ah)?
Ooh (aah), ooh (aah)
Can I be close to you?
Ooh, ooh

Where we can enjoy the beauty of nature

Of the emotions that were never shared
When the evening pulls the sun down
As night starts to fall
And the day is almost through
And the day is coming to an end
Oh, the whole world it is sleeping
As the rest of the world rests
But my world is you
You are my world

Bloom Lyrics
In the morning when I wake
And the sun is coming through,
Oh, you fill my lungs with sweetness,
And you fill my head with you.
Shall I write it in a letter?
Shall I try to get it down?
Oh, you fill my head with pieces
Of a song I can't get out.
Can I be close to you?
Oh-oh-oh-ooh, ooh
Can I be close to you?
Ooh, ooh.
Can I take it to a morning
Where the fields are painted gold
And the trees are filled with memories
Of the feelings never told?
When the evening pulls the sun down,
And the day is almost through,
Oh, the whole world it is sleeping,
But my world is you.
Can I be close to you (Ah)?
Ooh (aah), ooh (aah).
Can I be close to you (Ah)?
Ooh (aah), ooh (aah).
Can I be close to you (Ah)?
Ooh (aah), ooh (aah).
Can I be close to you (Ah)?
Ooh (aah), ooh (aah).
Can I be close to you?
Ooh, ooh.

Here's to all you single folks that listen to this song dreaming of the day when you'll find your special someone, I can't be the only one, right?

I'm the queen of single! I've been single since birth and I'm pretty, I know cause new guys slide into my dms at least 4 times a week. I just haven't met a man that doesn't make me feel like I have to defend myself and my peace. Does anyone understand that? 😄
I've built an environment of love, peace and happiness within myself and I'd hate for anyone to come ruin that for me. I feel safer single but it gets a little lonely sometimes
@SoniaRossi72
No you're not.....Though...Maybe some of us are just meant to be single.

I wish this song was a person so I could hug it tight
Even the comments are so lovely and warm
@halcyon_echo42
It would be so gentle and warm, like a yellow summer's afternoon with just the faintest breeze
@romishaya6919
@@halcyon_echo42 couldn’t describe it better:)
@blake8109
I think the song would be a beautiful girl who feels like a cool breeze and would lay on the ground holding me while we watch the clouds
