Paper Wings and Heavy Things

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
Woke up with a head full of “not again”
Opportunities slipping through my hands like people who walked away, some family some were friends 
My plans keep falling like dominos
But I still tape them up, yeah that’s how it goes

I Got a heart that feels too loud sometimes
Heart Beating like a drummer with no sense of time
But I laugh it off and pretend it’s fine
Even when my shadow steps out of line

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m learning slowly, learning the hard way
Trying to put the pieces back on top
Even if they fall again
I’ll stack them taller than I did back then

[Chorus]
I’ve got paper wings and heavy things
But somehow I’m still trying to fly
Even when the wind won’t listen
And the clouds won’t open the sky

Yeah I break a bit, get mistaken quick
But I’m still holding on a bit, on to hope tonight that it will all be over quick 
Paper wings and heavy things
But I’m still giving it a try even though I can't make sense of shit

[Verse 2]
Some days feel like underwater dreams
Pressure drowning out my sense of being 
But I kick my feet up start swimming and rise above
That’s just how you learn to love your stuff and regain your self-love

I’ve got bruises from the battles I’ve fought and lost my mind over
Scraped my knees on lessons I never sought to hurt over
But every scar feels lighter now
Like it’s teaching me the “why” and “how”
to stop looking back and over my shoulders

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m learning slowly, learning the hard way
Trying to put the pieces back on top
Even if they fall again
I’ll stack them taller than I did back

[Chorus]
I’ve got paper wings and heavy things
But somehow I’m still trying to fly
Even when the wind won’t listen
And the clouds won’t open the sky

[Bridge]
Maybe the fall is part of the flight 
Maybe the dark brings out the light
Maybe I’m built for tougher days
Even when my world misbehaves
( Maybe, what if it was... just maybe)

I’m learning slowly, learning the hard way
Trying to put the pieces back on top
Even if they fall again
I’ll stack them taller than I did back then

I’ve got paper wings and heavy things
But somehow I’m still trying to fly
Even when the wind won’t listen
And the clouds won’t open the sky
