[Verse 1] I found your name in a bookstore downtown On a napkin folded under a coffee stain brown You wrote "meet me here when the snow starts to fall" Like winter was just an excuse for us all [Verse 2] The jazz trio played in the corner so low Like they knew every secret we didn't know You ordered tea with a twist of regret And I ordered a chance I can't forget [Pre-Chorus] We were just strangers trading paper hearts On 5th Avenue where the cold never starts The city was sleeping but we stayed awake For a love we could fold but would never break We were paper hearts on 5th Avenue Wearing thin at the seams but the ink still stayed true You said "some things tear, but some things mend" And I’ve been smoothing our edges since then[Chorus] [Verse 3] The snow came down like it kept your word And the bookstore closed with the last note we heard You left your gloves but you took my hand And the whole block felt like promised land [Pre-Chorus] We were just strangers trading paper hearts On 5th Avenue where the cold never starts The city was sleeping but we stayed awake For a love we could fold but would never break We were paper hearts on 5th Avenue Wearing thin at the seams but the ink still stayed true You said "some things tear, but some things mend" And I’ve been smoothing our edges since then[Chorus] **** If love's a letter the wind can’t steal Then write me again till the words are real I’ll meet you back where the snow first fell With a brand new page we can both retell[Bridge] We were paper hearts on 5th Avenue We were paper hearts on 5th Avenue[Final Chorus] So save me a seat when the winter comes through I’ll bring our story back to 5th Avenue[Outro]
