(Paper planes, paper planes) I trace the letters on a blank white page Stuck in the shadow of a silent stage Every time you’re standing near my desk My mind goes racing and my chest gets tight I practice every single word to say Then watch the opportunity slip away So I fold the page in two Build a little world with you And send it flying through the air Flying through the air! (Paper planes inside my head!) You laugh at something across the room And for a second, the light breaks through I construct a future frame by frame Where you turn around and call my name We’re walking home beneath a heavy rain No awkward silence, no hidden pain So I fold the page in two Build a little world with you And send it flying through the air I build paper planes inside my head Flying on the words I never said We’re dancing in the kitchen under quiet lights Holding onto hands that aren't mine tonight Yeah, it’s all just pictures folded in the dark Wishing I was brave enough to spark Every paper plane I send your way Is just another thing I’ll never say Wishing I could find the words today! (Just another thing I'll never say!) Maybe one day I won't tear the page Maybe I'll step up to the front of the stage Instead of watching from a mile away Wishing I could find the words today! I build paper planes inside my head Flying on the words I never said We’re dancing in the kitchen under quiet lights Holding onto hands that aren't mine tonight Yeah, it’s all just pictures folded in the dark Wishing I was brave enough to spark Every paper plane I send your way Is just another thing I’ll never say Folded in the dark Just pictures in my head Paper planes
