Paper Boats

Lyrics

Verse 1
You left your sweater on my chair
Coffee stain
A loose red thread
Phone light glowing
Your name there
But I let it fade instead

Pre-Chorus
Every little thing you forgot here
Feels louder than the rain on the glass
I keep asking if I drove you
Too far
Too fast

Chorus
We were paper boats in a storm
Just drifting
Every touch too soft to last this long
I keep reaching out in the dark
Still missing
Someone who’s already gone
We were almost
Almost something
Now I dance with all the lights turned off
Paper boats in a storm
Just sinking
To the beat of a breaking heart

Verse 2
Found your ticket in my coat
Midnight train
You never spoke
You just watched the city float
Past the window
Past the joke

Pre-Chorus
Every quiet word that you swallowed
Keeps replaying like a distant song
I keep asking if you ever
Felt here
Felt home

Chorus
We were paper boats in a storm
Just drifting
Every touch too soft to last this long
I keep reaching out in the dark
Still missing
Someone who’s already gone
We were almost
Almost something
Now I dance with all the lights turned off
Paper boats in a storm
Just sinking
To the beat of a breaking heart

Bridge
[beat pulls back
Vocal close and fragile]
If I call your name
Will you hear it
Will you care
Or am I just a ghost
In a room you never share
I keep holding on
To the shape of your hands
But the harder I cling
The faster you slip like sand

Chorus
We were paper boats in a storm
Just drifting
Every touch too soft to last this long
I keep reaching out in the dark
Still missing
Someone who’s already gone
We were almost
Almost something
Now I dance with all the lights turned off
Paper boats in a storm
Just sinking
To the beat of a breaking heart
