I folded all the words I couldn't say, Into a little plane and sent them away. Every crease was made from memories, Every line was drawn from you and me. I wrote your name beneath the wings, Along with all our broken dreams. Then I stood beneath the fading sky, And watched my little paper plane fly. Maybe the wind will take it where I can't, Maybe it'll reach you somehow. I don't need an answer anymore, I just need you to know somehow. Fly, my paper plane, fly away, Carry all the words I couldn't say. Cross the clouds and cross the blue, Take my heart along with you. If you ever find the place where you are, Tell her I still remember who we are. And if my love gets lost along the way, Let it fly... like a paper plane. The evening rain began to fall, Washing old footsteps from the wall. I watched the colors disappear, Just like the days when you were here. I used to think that love could stay, If we just held on another day. But some things aren't meant to remain, Like paper wings beneath the rain. Maybe the wind knows where you are, Maybe it can cross the distance between our hearts. I don't need you to come back to me, I only hope you're happy where you are meant to be. Fly, my paper plane, fly away, Carry all the words I couldn't say. Cross the clouds and cross the blue, Take my heart along with you. If you ever find the place where you are, Tell her I still remember who we are. And if my love gets lost along the way, Let it fly... like a paper plane. Maybe someday, when the sky is clear, You'll see a little plane and think of me. Maybe you'll remember how we dreamed, Before the world became what it became. And even if you never turn around, I'll let my love leave the ground. Some goodbyes don't need a final word, Some feelings are better left unheard. Fly, my paper plane, fly away, Carry every memory we couldn't save. Cross the clouds and disappear from sight, Take my tears into the night. If you ever find the heart I used to know, Tell it I finally learned to let you go. And though our story fades away, My love will fly... Like a paper plane. So fly away, my little paper plane, Through the sunlight, through the rain. I won't chase you anymore... I'll just watch you fade Into the endless sky.
