Kites Lyrics by Scott Helman

Hôtel de Ville

2017

[Verse 1]:
Feels like the whole world is tied up inside my head
It starts unraveling when beauty pulls the thread
For you, ooh-ooh, for you
I'll tear it all down

[Verse 2]:
We roll like broken bottles out into the street
My world is such a mess from trying to be discrete
We'll lo-oo-ose our cool
We'll tear 'em all down

[Chorus]:
We got a lot of stress so we just wanna black out
We got a lot of pressure we just wanna let out
We can be reckless and we may regret it but maybe it's worth the hype
I got the right, you got the right
Tonight we're gonna fly like kites
Fly like kites

[Verse 3]:
We'll make some bitters with some governmental cheese
We got religion flying high above the trees
Like two-oo-oo baboons
In a space camp

[Verse 4]:
In my enlightenment, I thought I found the key
Unlock the monster who can strangle my anxieties
It's true, ooh-ooh, it's true
I'm just the same as you

[Chorus]:
We got a lot of stress so we just wanna black out
We got a lot of pressure we just wanna let out
We can be reckless and we may regret it but maybe it's worth the hype
I got the right, you got the right
Tonight we're gonna fly like kites
Fly like kites
We're gonna fly like kites
Fly like kites

[Bridge]:
The hurt is weighing down on me
The work is weighing down on me
The words are weighing down on me
The weight is weighing down on me
The game is weighing down on me
The gate is weighing down on me
The blame is weighing down on me
The weight is weighing down on me

We may be reckless and we may regret it but maybe it's worth the hype
I got the right, you got the right
Tonight we're gonna fly like kites
Fly like kites
We're gonna fly like kites
Fly like kites
