Paper Girl*

[Intro] stay with me Mmm... turn the page... [Verse 1] Three AM finds you cross-legged on hardwood floors Kid A spinning while you trace words you adore Your glasses reflect Kafka's metamorphosis Tea leaves settling as you reminisce About Tokyo dreams And books that changed everything [Pre-Chorus] Your pencil marks line Murakami's page While vinyl static marks each passing age These quiet hours feel like sacred space As dawn approaches, we leave not a trace [Chorus] Paper girl (she flows) Through midnight scenes Stories un-fold (they show) In chapter streams When pages turn again Words paint silver dreams Your stories show me what life could mean [Verse 2] Film canisters line your windowsill Each frame captures moments perfectly still Here's us dancing in street light Here's your smile caught just right Your photos scattered on the bed Tell the stories left unsaid [Pre-Bridge] Cigarette burns slow beside your tea Cat stretches, watching you and me Jazz notes float from down the hall As morning light begins to fall [Bridge] Your bookshelf holds a thousand lives Stories kept between your sighs Pictures speak in silver grain While your words turn led to gold again [Final-Chorus] Paper girl (she glows) Through every word and frame (and frame) Stories un-fold (they flow) Like morning rain When pages turn again Words paint silver dreams... Your stories show me what life could mean [Outro] The story never ends... stay with me...
