She Let Go of Her Kite

Just as she patched it up
 It came unravelled
 A crash, collapse into the trees
 A mess of garden twine and red fabric
 Tangled up good in the leaves
 She's getting tired of fixing the frame
 Nothing's made to last
 She let go of her kite
 It was as easy as switching off the light
 She watched it as it flew
 It felt like the right thing
 It starts out so enchanting
 You just can't live without it
 A shiny present in its wrapping
 You can picture yourself and how it happens
 And the newness wears thin
 Nothing's made to last
 She let go of her kite (she let go of her kite)
 It was as easy as switching off the light (she let go of her kite)
 She watched it as it flew
 It felt like the right thing
 ♪
 They got it together in November
 A stormy wind ripped her coat
 A running start, and they were sailing
 It was easy until the tether broke
 You start over, and nothing's made to last
 She let go of her kite (she let go of her kite)
 It was as easy as switching off the light (she let go of her kite)
 She watched it as it flew
 It felt like the right thing
 ♪
 For a few minutes she didn't move
 Just stood still and watched the air float through
 The reel empty in her hands
 Here's hoping it never has to land
 It moved out of view
 And nothing's made to last
 She let go of her kite (she let go of her kite)
 It was as easy as switching off the light (she let go of her kite)
 She watched it as it flew
 It felt like the right thing
 She let go of her kite (she let go of her kite)
 It was as easy as switching off the light (she let go of her kite)
 She watched it as it flew
 It felt like the right thing
 The right thing to do
