[Verse 1] I folded one from a bill On your front steps in the rain Tiny sail, crooked keel Carried all my words away You laughed when it spun in the gutter Then you tucked it in your coat (in your coat) [Pre-Chorus] Now it’s floating in my mind Past the drains and porch lights If I let it drift a while Maybe it finds you tonight [Chorus] Paper boats, paper boats Take my name and go Paper boats, paper boats Tell you what I never showed I keep sending little signs To the place your heart should know Paper boats, paper boats Take my name and go (go, go) [Verse 2] I saved the crease in my drawer Next to tickets and a key Summer burned a hole in the floor But that night still swims in me Every time the sky goes gray I can see your hand on mine (on mine) [Pre-Chorus] Now it’s floating in my mind Past the drains and porch lights If I let it drift a while Maybe it finds you tonight [Chorus] Paper boats, paper boats Take my name and go Paper boats, paper boats Tell you what I never showed I keep sending little signs To the place your heart should know Paper boats, paper boats Take my name and go (go, go) [Bridge] If the river bends too hard If it tears them all apart I’ll make one more from the dark And launch it from my heart [Final Chorus] Paper boats, paper boats Take my name and go Paper boats, paper boats Tell you what I never showed I keep sending little signs To the place your heart should know Paper boats, paper boats Take my name and go (go, go)
