lyrics

Paper Planes

I remember when you slipped away that day
My bubble burst in every way
Everyone standing ...their lips moving
I had no idea what they were saying

I'd stare for hours into space
Trying so hard to remember your face
I wonder where your soul had gone
And how could the world just carry on

Life's just a silly game
The things we do, the things we say

Chorus
Like paper planes we'll fly into another sky
Like paper ships we'll sail into another sea
We're so fragile in this life
Better not waste it before our time

Tears fall like water through my fingers
What we don't see we easily forget
Memories like a faded newspaper
I've burnt those pages in my head

I've learnt this life's about letting go
Free falling, let the happiness flow
Scars of pain show on rainy days
Remind me not to chase the sun away

Life's just a silly game
The things we do the things we say

Chorus
…

To all the souls around the world
Learn to let go
All the souls around the world
Let's free fall

Chorus and out
…
