Paper Planes

[Intro] [Verse 1] Sunlight spills across the floor Dust motes dancing, nothing more Than a Tuesday afternoon Hums a tune out of tune The clock ticks slow, the air hangs still On the windowsill, a sudden thrill A folded thought takes to the air Leaving patterns on the glare [Chorus] Oh, paper planes in afternoon light Catch the breeze, take sudden flight A fragile dream, a whispered name Carried on a paper plane Just a moment, brief and bright Fading softly into night Oh, paper planes in afternoon light [Verse 2] Remember how the river gleamed? Or was it just a half-remembered dream? A stolen kiss beneath the pines Etched in fractured, fading lines Like creases in a map well-worn To places lost before the dawn We tried to fold the world so small But gravity claims hold of all [Chorus] Oh, paper planes in afternoon light Catch the breeze, take sudden flight A fragile dream, a whispered name Carried on a paper plane Just a moment, brief and bright Fading softly into night Oh, paper planes in afternoon light [Bridge] The silence grows, the shadows creep Across the secrets that we keep Fold another, let it soar From this quiet, closing door A silent wish on fragile wings For all the lost and broken things [Chorus] Oh, paper planes in afternoon light Catch the breeze, take sudden flight A fragile dream, a whispered name Carried on a paper plane Just a moment, brief and bright Fading softly into night Oh, paper planes...
