Paper Airplane

Down by the lake you saw me

And you knew I was waiting for you

Looking in between those long reeds

Your reflection it fell upon

How we miss that love

The words written on my hand are hard to say

Game of solitaire' with no card to play

Paper airplane so far away

The words written on my hand are hard to say

Game of solitaire' with no card to play

Paper airplane so far away

Crying for your letters

Looking all through the pictures

They surviving the long way to get from me to you

Get to me

You're writing me a letter looking for my heart to send you -

Oh, it all in words

I'm writing my heart out, my heart out for you

Distant tower, hour on resistant hour, signals with consistant power

Eventually the shepherd must slaughter his sheep

The sky is ripped open and the water is deep

Somewhere else, your burning fire, your tempting charms

I'm lost in the woods with no voice and empty arms

Admitting I'm stranded, commiting my plan

Two stories written by hand

Play me again your memory

The hands of the clock on the wall are the enemy

I feel them on my throat

Girls are called Emily

Stillness is illness, your voice is the remedy

Polaroid picture's gonna find me

The illusion is blinding

Aches that remind me

Finally behind me

Yesterday is in the fire

Drawing these words

Until my hands begins to tire

At war with now, desperately seeking then

Cursing my body and torturing a bleeding pen

Memories of your voice, circling through rooms

Wondering where and imagining two moons

There is one for each of us, anguish is my guiding'n'grace

I keep all your lyrics in a secret hiding place

Building a boat made with a sail of paper

Words written down, no sound and a trail of vapor

How we miss that love (repeats)
