[Intro] Yeah, yeah, mmm [Verse 1] Paper planes from the second floor Wishes that we couldn't ignore Wrote our names in the sky in blue Me and you, me and you, me and you Classroom clock tickin' slow that day Teacher talkin' but we floated away Dreamin' 'bout the life we'd find Outside those walls and outside time [Pre-Chorus] We were young, we were free Thought the world was you and me Didn't know how far we'd fly [Chorus] Paper planes, paper planes Fly away, fly away Take our hopes to yesterday And bring 'em back again today Paper planes, paper planes Fly away, fly away [Verse 2] Found one stuck in the old oak tree In the yard where we used to be Folded note said be kind, be brave, be free Little me had it all figured out, you see In a lunchbox under my bed All the things that little kid said Said I'd be a star, be a king, be true Forgot some, but I kept a few [Pre-Chorus] We were young, we were bold Had a heart made of gold Didn't know how high we'd fly [Chorus] Paper planes, paper planes Fly away, fly away Take our hopes to yesterday And bring 'em back again today Paper planes, paper planes [Bridge] Oh, let it fly, let it fly Watch it touch the sky, touch the sky Oh, let it go, let it go Where the good winds blow, winds blow [Verse 3] Made a new one just the other night Same old paper, different light Wrote down all the things I want to be Not just for me, but for family Wrote down peace, wrote down hope Wrote down love to help me cope Threw it off the roof at midnight blue Watched it soar like dreams do [Breakdown - stripped piano + claps + hum] Paper planes, oh-oh, paper planes [Final Chorus - big harmonies, doubled, extended] Paper planes, paper planes Fly away, fly away Take our hopes to yesterday And bring 'em back again today Paper planes, paper planes Still got hope in my veins, in my veins Paper planes, paper planes Fly away, fly away Take my heart where the good winds blow Paper planes, let 'em go, let 'em go [Outro] Yeah, paper planes Still flyin', still flyin' Watch 'em fly away
