Broken Kites
Gypsy & The Cat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you know what you’re gonna be just fine today?
Do they even know this? Do they even try to understand you?
It’s the feel that holds you down today
But the sun might never shine your way again

Do you feel like a broken kite
Waiting for the wind to come alive?
Do you feel like a broken kite
Waiting for the wind to come alive?

Do you walk but really wish you’d fly away?
Every day you wake up another reason guides you north again

Fly with me
We’ll fly away, fly away, fly away
Fly with me
We’ll fly away, fly away, fly away

Do you feel like a broken kite
Waiting for the wind to come alive?
Do you feel like a broken kite
Waiting for the wind to come alive?

Fly away
Fly away, fly away, fly away
Fly away
Fly away, fly away, fly away

Where the morning sun reveals




To scratch across the night
You can take my hand and we could fly across the sky
