[Verse 1] You left a note on my door Folded up like a map Said, “Meet me where the creek bends” By the train track gap I came with mud on my shoes And a bag full of chips You were laughing with your sleeves rolled up Ink on your fingertips [Pre-Chorus] We were making small things Out of heavy days Little paper boats Trying not to drift away [Chorus] Paper boats, paper boats Float me back to you Paper boats, paper boats In the morning blue Take my name Take my doubt Let the water sing it out Paper boats, paper boats Float me back to you [Verse 2] Your brother yelled from the porch Your dog stole a sock You said, “Hold this one flat” Then you kissed me and ran to the dock The creek took the first one fast Spun it under the reed But the second one kept turning bright Like it knew what we need [Pre-Chorus] We were making small things Out of heavy days Little paper boats Trying not to drift away [Chorus] Paper boats, paper boats Float me back to you Paper boats, paper boats In the morning blue Take my name Take my doubt Let the water sing it out Paper boats, paper boats Float me back to you [Bridge] If the rain comes hard If the bank gives in I’ll find your folded corner And start again [Final Chorus] Paper boats, paper boats Float me back to you Paper boats, paper boats In the morning blue Take my name Take my doubt Let the water sing it out Paper boats, paper boats Float me back to you Paper boats, paper boats Float me back to you
