Paper Clouds --- 🎤 Lyrics: [Verse 1] Caught my life in a mirror’s light Flickered faces, fading flight Turned around, walked back through years Felt the skin of someone dear [Pre-Chorus] The lines on his hands knew where I’d been Like stories carved into quiet skin [Chorus] Paper clouds in a burning sun Love and life just come undone Floating high, they lose their name But leave their shapes in sky and flame Time drifts by, but still I run Through paper clouds and burning sun --- [Verse 2] Spoke to ghosts I never knew Felt their silence pulling through Every heart I held too tight Still flickers in that mirror light [Pre-Chorus] I held the frame but couldn’t stay The past just smiled and walked away [Chorus] Paper clouds in a burning sun Love and life just come undone Floating high, they lose their name But leave their shapes in sky and flame Time drifts by, but still I run Through paper clouds and burning sun --- [Bridge] Photographs that turn to ash Laughter folded in the grass Every name I try to write Melts into the morning light --- [Final Chorus] Paper clouds in a burning sun All my life, a race I’ve run Caught between what was and when Hoping time might turn again But I just walk, my shadow one With paper clouds and burning sun
