lyrics

Come down
To the ground
From the cloud
Show him some love

And when they tell you it’s easy, it’s really hard
You flew in on a breeze with a silver cup
He learned Japanese just to say what’s up
But he never believed that you would come this far

Taking off is easy
You show him how to start
By letting go of secrets
In caterpillar hearts

Your chrysalis is changing
For better or for worse
Paint colors on your wings
Now you're dying in reverse

You tell him that it’s all right
To be the bigger man
But he is just a dumb boy
Without a coffee can
