Like a Secret

[Verse 1] Did you ever wish you could be king? Holding heaven in your hands Hoping it'll all come true Turn the world on its ear, make it ring Rub sticks in dirt and dust Let the bright come burning through [Chorus] Don't talk me down from here Let me fly this kite without a string Goes much higher than these buildings It goes faster than your TV Larger than your life Like silver [Verse 2] Talk lines unbroken by old fears Necklaces of perfect words to hang around your perfect neck Turn a diamond to a lump of coal Making fires, add melting ice Locomotion frees the soul [Chorus] Don't talk me down from here Let me fly this kite without a string Goes much higher than these buildings It goes faster than your TV Larger than your life Like silver Colder than deep water It is better than a switchblade Hides mountains in its shadow like a secret [Unknown sample] [Outro] I make my bed alone See the would-be king on a would-be throne I'm all I know now Better get started It's a long walk home
