[00:08.03]Just as she patched it up
[00:09.97]It came unravelled
[00:12.59]A crash collapse into the trees
[00:16.28]A mess of garden twine and red fabric
[00:20.84]Tangled up good in the leaves
[00:23.40]She's getting tired of fixing the frame
[00:27.47]Nothing's made to last
[00:29.90].
[00:31.09]She let go of her kite
[00:35.34]It was as easy as switching off the light
[00:39.16]She watched it as it flew
[00:43.47]It felt like the right thing
[00:46.97].
[00:48.78]It starts out so enchanting
[00:52.66]You just can't live without it
[00:56.28]A shiny present in its wrapping
[01:00.53]You can picture yourself and how it happens
[01:03.47]And the newness wears thin
[01:07.53]Nothing's made to last
[01:10.22].
[01:11.15]She let go of her kite
[01:13.66]It was as easy as switching off the light
[01:19.28]She watched it as it flew
[01:23.60]It felt like the right thing
[01:26.97].
[01:44.95]They got it together in November
[01:48.45]A stormy wind ripped her coat
[01:52.39]A running start and they were sailing
[01:56.57]It was easy until the tether broke
[02:00.26]You start over and nothing's made to last
[02:06.07].
[02:07.26]She let go of her kite
[02:11.38]It was as easy as switching off the light
[02:15.51]She watched it as it flew
[02:19.57]It felt like the right thing
[02:22.82].
[02:40.78]For a few minutes she didn't move
[02:44.78]Just stood still and watched the air float through
[02:48.79]The reel empty in her hands
[02:52.60]Here's hoping it never has to land
[02:55.54]It moved out of view
[02:59.67]And nothing's made to last
[03:02.48].
[03:03.29]She let go of her kite
[03:06.91]It was as easy as switching off the light
[03:11.54]She watched it as it flew
[03:14.85]It felt like the right thing
[03:18.92].
[03:19.35]She let go of her kite
[03:23.35]It was as easy as switching off the light
[03:27.23]She watched it as it flew
[03:31.60]It felt like the right thing
[03:35.48]The right thing to do
