[Intro | Rhodes and nylon guitar, soft crackle] [Verse 1] The screen forgets me when I sleep A thousand words it doesn't keep Refresh, refresh, and they're all gone Like they were never really on [Pre-Chorus] But I wrote you down by hand On a page that still understands [Chorus] Paper hearts don't refresh Ink stays close against the chest What we printed, what we pressed Paper hearts don't refresh (Don't refresh, don't refresh) Paper hearts don't refresh [Verse 2] The feed will scroll us out of view New face, new name, nothing true But there's a letter in my drawer Yellowed soft, and I'm still yours [Pre-Chorus] But I wrote you down by hand On a page that still understands [Chorus] Paper hearts don't refresh Ink stays close against the chest What we printed, what we pressed Paper hearts don't refresh (Don't refresh, don't refresh) Paper hearts don't refresh [Bridge | strip to voice and Rhodes] When the servers go to black And the clouds don't bring it back You can hold what we became — Pressed in ink, you'll find my name [Final Chorus | strings swell, falsetto tender] Paper hearts don't refresh Some love won't compress Hold the page against the chest Paper hearts don't refresh (Don't refresh, don't refresh) Paper hearts don't refresh [Outro | guitar rings, soft pad into Track 14]
