Lyrics

Sitting on the bedroom floor, lined paper and blue ink

Didn't have the time to worry, didn't have the time to think

Wrote down "I will see the world" in messy little words

Wanted to be up there with the clouds and with the birds

Fold the corners to the middle, make the edges sharp and neat

Standing on the window sill, looking at the empty street

Threw it out into the wind to see how far it goes

Where it landed, heaven knows

We didn't know about the gravity

We only knew about the fantasy

Thought a piece of paper was enough to fly

Didn't know the world would make us compromise

Oh, paper planes in the summer sky

We didn't know how fast the years would fly

Now I'm in a window seat, thirty thousand feet

Looking at the tiny houses on the tiny street

I got everything I wrote upon that page

But I feel like a bird inside a golden cage

I miss the girl who built her wings from a notebook sheet

Sending paper planes into the heat

Turbulence is shaking up my coffee in the cup

Screen is flashing warning signs, telling me to buckle up

It's a different kind of flying when the stakes are getting real

Hard to figure out exactly how I'm supposed to feel

Got the stamps inside my passport, got the hotel room keys

But I'm searching for the magic in the artificial breeze

I wish I could uncomplicate the things that I have learned

Watch the paper as it turned

We didn't know about the gravity

We only knew about the fantasy

Thought a piece of paper was enough to fly

Didn't know the world would make us compromise

Oh, paper planes in the summer sky

We didn't know how fast the years would fly

Now I'm in a window seat, thirty thousand feet

Looking at the tiny houses on the tiny street

I got everything I wrote upon that page

But I feel like a bird inside a golden cage

I miss the girl who built her wings from a notebook sheet

Sending paper planes into the heat

Where did they land? In the neighbor's yard?

Did they melt in the rain when the wind blew hard?

Did someone pick them up and read my little dreams?

Life is never quite exactly how it seems

Sometimes I wish I could fold myself up small

And start again...

Oh, paper planes in the summer sky

We didn't know how fast the years would fly

Now I'm in a window seat, thirty thousand feet

Looking at the tiny houses on the tiny street

I got everything I wrote upon that page

But I feel like a bird inside a golden cage

I miss the girl who built her wings from a notebook sheet

Sending paper planes into the heat

Fold it up...

Let it go...

I hope they made it somewhere.
