When I see you sky as a kite
As high as I might, I can't get that high
The how you move, the way you burst the clouds
It makes me want to try
And when I see you sticky as lips
As licky as trips, I can't lick that far
But when you pout, the way you shout out loud
It makes me want to start
And when I see you happy as a girl
That swims in a world of a magic show
It makes me bite my fingers through
To think I could've let you go
And when I see you take the same sweet steps
You used to take, I say
"I'll keep on holding you in my arms so tight
I'll never let you slip away"
And when I see you kitten as a cat
Yeah, as smitten as that, I can't get that small
The way you fur, the how you purr
It makes me want to paw you all
And when I see you happy as a girl
That lives in a world of make-believe
It makes me pull my hair all out
To think I could've let you leave
And when I see you take the same sweet steps
You used to take, I know
I'll keep on holding you in my arms so tight
They'll never let you go (never let you go)
As high as I might, I can't get that high
The how you move, the way you burst the clouds
It makes me want to try
And when I see you sticky as lips
As licky as trips, I can't lick that far
But when you pout, the way you shout out loud
It makes me want to start
And when I see you happy as a girl
That swims in a world of a magic show
It makes me bite my fingers through
To think I could've let you go
And when I see you take the same sweet steps
You used to take, I say
"I'll keep on holding you in my arms so tight
I'll never let you slip away"
And when I see you kitten as a cat
Yeah, as smitten as that, I can't get that small
The way you fur, the how you purr
It makes me want to paw you all
And when I see you happy as a girl
That lives in a world of make-believe
It makes me pull my hair all out
To think I could've let you leave
And when I see you take the same sweet steps
You used to take, I know
I'll keep on holding you in my arms so tight
They'll never let you go (never let you go)

I saw a documentary about the Cure and in one segment the interviewer asked what it was like to see fans dressed up with him. He basically said at that moment he started thinking things were really surreal. I think this song is about seeing faces in the crowd of people that dress like him, admire him, and are his ever devoted fans... He sees them as high as a kite, as high as he might, bursting into clouds = cheers of the fans Kitten as cat (dedicated fans still following him despite aging) Seeing red sticky lips looking back at him, imitating how he looks and seeing himself reflected in his fan. And realizing how he almost walked away
