[Verse 1] I stood out by the gate With cold hands in my sleeves Counted one by one The holes in the sky Your name on my tongue Like a match I won't strike Still I kept looking up Like you'd fall through tonight [Pre-Chorus] And every window above me Held a little more blue I kept my heart on the ledge Waiting on you [Chorus] I keep reaching for you Like paper stars I keep reaching for you From where you are If you can't come home Leave a sign, leave a spark I keep reaching for you Like paper stars [Verse 2] The train shook the fence The dog wouldn't sleep Your last little laugh Kept circling me I folded that night Into my coat hem tight Walked it back and forth Till the morning got light [Pre-Chorus] And every window above me Held a little more blue I kept my heart on the ledge Waiting on you [Chorus] I keep reaching for you Like paper stars I keep reaching for you From where you are If you can't come home Leave a sign, leave a spark I keep reaching for you Like paper stars [Bridge] Maybe longing is a map Drawn in shaky lines Maybe every mile between us Still belongs to time But I know your face In the dark of my mind And I still look up Every single night [Chorus] I keep reaching for you Like paper stars I keep reaching for you From where you are If you can't come home Leave a sign, leave a spark I keep reaching for you Like paper stars
