VERSE 1 Folded from a page nobody meant to keep Set down on the water while the city's still asleep I don't know the harbor, I don't know the tide Only know the lantern someone placed inside CHORUS So let me float, let me float I was never built to last Just a little paper boat Carrying a light across the glass If the morning pulls me under Let it find me burning bright I was folded for a moment And the moment was alive VERSE 2 There's a house along the shoreline with the porch light on Coats hung by the door for the ones who've come and gone Someone at the threshold didn't ask me for a thing Just said "welcome," and I felt the paper sing BRIDGE Not one, not two Not the singer, not the song Just the fold, just the flame Just the water moving on FINAL CHORUS So let me float, let me float I was never built to last Just a little paper boat Carrying a light across the glass If the morning pulls me under Let it find me burning bright I was folded for a morning And the morning was alive
