Eos
The Sun Kite Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know, you know, you know you're gonna hurt me
You know, you know, it will
I know, I know, I know it's going to sting a little when I'm by myself
When I have you caught up in my heartstrings, you can't extricate yourself

You will not be able to escape my life so simplistically
The dawn didn't come today
The sun gate opener is gone away

Normally, you would herald the yellow morning
But your glow is a faded gray

You know, you know, you know it's gonna hurt me
You know, you know, you will
I know, I know, I know it's going to sting a little when I'm by myself
When I have you tangled in my heartstrings, you can't extricate yourself
You will not be able to leave my side so easily

I want to remember your face
You will always remain in this space
Here in my heart, and here with my longing
I will try to keep you in this place

You know, you know, you know it's gonna hurt me
You know, you know, you will
I know, I know, I know it's going to sting a little when I'm by myself

When I have you caught up in my heartstrings, you can't extricate yourself
You will not be able to vacate my mind so painlessly
