high

when i see you sky as a kite

as high as i might

i can't get that high

the how you move

the way you burst the clouds

it makes me want to try



when i see you sticky as lips

as licky as trips

i can't lick that far

but when you pout

the way you shout out loud

it makes me want to start

and when i see you happy as a girl

that swims in a world of magic show

it makes me bite my fingers through

to think i could've let you go



and when i see you

take the same sweet steps

you used to take

i say i'll keep on holding you

my arms so tight

i'll never let you slip away



and when i see you kitten as a cat

as smitten as that

i can't get that small

the way you fur

the how you purr

it makes me want to paw you all

and when i see you happy as a girl

that lives in a world of make-believe

it makes me pull my hair all out

to think i could've let you leave



and when i see you

take the same sweet steps

you used to take

i know i'll keep on holding you

in arms so tight

they'll never let you go
