You can see their lips are moving
But you can't hear what they say
It's not that you're not listening
Your heart is on a string

Once the stars lined up to meet you
And a wave rose up to greet you
But looking down, not noticing
Your heart was on a string

Somewhere high up in the blue air
Birds are heading home for winter
They're calling you to lift your wings
But your heart is on a string

They're calling you, to lift your wings
But your heart is on a string
