U2 — Kite Live From The Fleet Center Boston MA USA / 2001

This is a, this, this song is about letting go of Someone you don’t want to let go of Could be a lover, could be father Could be, could be a child, could be a friend I don’t know This is Kite (Stop crying) 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 But when I’m flat on my back I hope to feel like I did ‘Cause 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 if the time has come around? Don’t want to see you cry But I know that this is not goodbye Summer, I can taste the salt of the 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… (Child) 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 which way the wind will blow Who’s to know when the time has come around? Don’t want to see you cry But 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 That was the big idea Big idea It’s summer, I can taste the salt of the sea There’s a kite blowing out of control on a breeze I wonder what’s gonna happen to you You wonder what has happened to me… Thanks for hanging around…
