[Verse] We built our dreams on folded notes, Hearts too young to know they’d float, You said forever in a whisper low, But paper burns, and feelings show, Now I’m staring at the sky again, Wondering how it felt back then. [Pre-Chorus] We tried to fly too high too soon, The wind was strong, we lost the tune. [Chorus] Paper wings, They couldn’t last, Flying through a storm too fast, Beautiful but bound to crash, Tried to hold on, tried to sing, But love can’t soar on paper wings. Paper wings mmm [Verse] Your shadow dances in my head, All the words we never said, Promises cut like a knife, Thin as air, but full of life, Now I’m tracing where you’ve been, In every tear, in every sin. [Pre-Chorus] We painted skies we couldn’t reach, Love was the lesson, pain’s the teach. [Chorus] Paper wings, They couldn’t last, Flying through a storm too fast, Beautiful but bound to crash, Tried to hold on, tried to sing, But love can’t soar on paper wings. Paper wings mmm [Bridge] Maybe we were just too light, Too afraid to lose the height, Some dreams tear before they’re told. [Final Chorus] Paper wings, They couldn’t last, Flying through a storm too fast, Beautiful but bound to crash, Tried to hold on, tried to sing, But love can’t soar on paper wings. Paper wings mmm
