Paper Girl

Take a page

 Draw a happy face inside a heart

 Picture you, picture me, picture everyone

 Draw the lines

 Of fireworks exploding in the sky

 Red and blue, pink and green, cover all the white

 Paper girl, standing in a row of paper doll chain

 And look at him: hearts flying from his head around mine

 Thought bubble

 With shuttlecocks and racket on my mind

 Instead of hearts, ‘stead of love

 I have badminton!

 And all the other things

 That make me turn away

 From the space between us, from our paper chase

 Paper girl, standing in a row of paper doll chain

 And look at him: hearts flying from his head around mine
