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
