[Intro] Slow down Let the night get thin Paper on the table Wind comin’ in [Verse 1] Ain’t a finished book Ain’t a perfect spine Just a pile of pages Stackin’ up with time One for the morning I thought I was fine One for the evenin’ I ran out of lines Ink still wet Chair still warm Story gettin’ written While the weather form [Chorus] These are pages flyin’ by The story that’s wrote It don’t wait for ready It don’t wait for hope It writes as we go It writes while we drive Whole life turnin’ paper Right in front of my eyes Pages flyin’ by Pages flyin’ by I ain’t at the ending I’m just livin’ the line [Verse 2] Some pages come easy Like a Sunday road Some come in pieces I don’t want to hold I try to slow the hand Try to make it neat Life don’t care for neat It just keeps its beat A name I remember A door I let close Next thing I know That’s a verse I know [Chorus] These are pages flyin’ by The story that’s wrote It don’t wait for ready It don’t wait for hope It writes as we go It writes while we drive Whole life turnin’ paper Right in front of my eyes Pages flyin’ by Pages flyin’ by I ain’t at the ending I’m just livin’ the line [Verse 3] I used to want the ending Want the last page still Want a clean conclusion I could fold and keep Now I see the beauty In the unfinished sheet In the sentence startin’ Underneath my feet We don’t get to edit Every mile we take We just turn the paper And we let it say [Bridge] If this chapter hurts Let it hurt in time If this chapter heals Let it heal in kind Don’t rush the river Don’t cage the sky Just watch the pages Flyin’ by [Verse 4] Tomorrow’ll write somethin’ I can’t see tonight Might be a soft one Might be a fight I’ll pick up the pen Like I always do Not ’cause I got answers ’Cause the story’s true It writes as we go That’s the whole design A life in motion On a thin white line [Chorus] These are pages flyin’ by The story that’s wrote It don’t wait for ready It don’t wait for hope It writes as we go It writes while we drive Whole life turnin’ paper Right in front of my eyes Pages flyin’ by Pages flyin’ by I ain’t at the ending I’m just livin’ the line [Outro] Lamp burnin’ low Wind at the door Another page liftin’ Off the kitchen floor I let it go I let it fly The story keeps writin’ As we go by Pages flyin’ by Pages flyin’ by
