[Verse 1]
I get in trouble so easy
Too proud to ask for help
She's the only one who really sees me
When I can't see me for myself
She's a slow-me-down Sunday morning
After making love, midnight church
She's a calm when my whole world is storming
She's the fix-me when nothing else works
[Chorus]
I am the kite, she is the string
When lightning is striking, she holds on to me
When I'm giving up, she still believes
That I am the kite, and she is the string
[Verse 2]
I'm a fly off and leave it behind me
Forget it and keep moving on
She's the fearless, come out and find me
Forgive me and bring me back home
[Chorus]
I am the kite, she is the string
When lightning is striking, she holds on to me
When I'm giving up, she still believes
I am the kite, and she is the string
[Bridge]
That West Texas wind starts blowing again
She pulls me back over and over again and again
[Chorus]
I am the kite she is the string
I am the kite, she is the string
Lightning is striking, she holds on to me
When I'm giving up, she still believes
I am the kite, she is the string
She is the string
