Morning news plays quiet lies Saying everything’s alright But I see the cracks in the corners of the blue sunrise Paper flags in the wind Smiles that feel paper-thin We’re all pretending that we’re not breaking inside You take my hand, whisper Look at the light Even if it’s fragile, it still feels right So we dream under paper skies Soft and delicate, gonna tear with time But tonight, it’s enough to be alive Hold me close till the colors fade If the world burns, let it wait We’re in love under paper skies Streetlights flicker on Crowds keep moving on Acting like tomorrow won’t be gone You rest your head on me Say, What if this is all we’ll ever be? I say, Then let’s make it a memory they can’t delete Don’t talk of forever, just stay tonight Under this fragile painted light So we dream under paper skies Soft and delicate, gonna tear with time But tonight, it’s enough to be alive Hold me close till the colors fade If the world burns, let it wait We’re in love under paper skies Maybe peace is only folded hope Maybe dreams are things we borrow If the sky rips open tomorrow I’ll still choose you through the sorrow We’re still here under paper skies Hearts beating like a lullaby No promise, no grand design Just your hand and mine If the morning never arrives We loved under paper skies Paper skies still shining tonight.
