[Verse 1] We used to speak in the same color Now your sky is blue, and mine's another Laughed at the same ghosts in the hallway Now you don't hear them when they call my name All the photographs are still in their frames But the faces in them slowly changed [Pre-Chorus] I am standing in a crowded room But the glass is getting thicker [Chorus] We are paper boats on a different tide I am watching you drift to the other side I built a house with no doors, just windows So I can see the world, but the world can't come in I didn't lock myself out, I just forgot how to swim [Verse 2] I learned a new language in my sleep Made of static and quiet streets Tried to translate what my heart weighs But the words fell apart on the way You planted gardens, I collected stones Both trying to make something feel like home [Chorus] We are paper boats on a different tide I am watching you drift to the other side I built a house with no doors, just windows So I can see the world, but the world can't come in I didn't lock myself out, I just forgot how to swim [Bridge - silent part] Maybe seasons don't betray the trees They just teach them how to let go of leaves Maybe I'm not lost, just wintering Waiting for a warmer version of me [Outro - whispering] If you knock, I will try to find the door I'm still in here, behind the windows.
