Expectations high as the kite
You would fly as a child
You took your chances oh you tried
But when it flew it went wild
Anticipation lies with you at night
Sets you up for a fall of your own design
You've set your sights on the highest heights
And if you can't get there you'll die trying
And I've been reading from this map for sometime now
And though I wrote it
I still can't figure it out
And if you just say the word then babe I'll go
But I don't know what the word is
Maybe you said it long ago
Comprehension it clears your mind
And clouds keep moving across its sky
The more it shows you of what it hides
The more of your wonder gets left behind
There could be an explanation
Written in stone
It could tell me all I need to know
But stones get broken oh they change their shape
So you might as well write it in water cause it's changing anyway
And I've been reading from this map for sometime now
And though I wrote it
I still can't figure it out
Oh if you just say the word then babe I'll go
But I don't know what the word is
Maybe you said it long ago
And I've been reading from this map for sometime now
And though I wrote it
I still can't figure it out
Oh if you just say the word then babe I'll go
But I don't know what the word is
Maybe you said it long ago
And I've been reading from this map for sometime now
And though I wrote it
I still can't figure it out
Oh if you just say the word then babe I'll go
But I don't know what the word is
Maybe you said it long ago
