Teach me to know your voice
Speak aloud and say my name
Silence my fears and still the noise that is dancing in my brain
From here on out I'll burn much brighter
Deep inside the timbre of your love
We've only just the one life
We've barely just begun, and then we die
Paper wings aren't strong enough to fly
Teach me to know your voice
Speak aloud and say your name
With eyes closed and heart awake
I will learn to still my brain
We've only just the one life
We've barely just begun, and then we die
Paper wings aren't strong enough to fly
Softly you sing over me
Give me ears to hear and eyes to see
Tell me that you'll never leave
You'll be there when my wings catch fire and I fall into the sea
We've only just the one life
We've barely just begun, and then we die
Paper wings aren't strong enough to fly
So carry me to your side when I die
