Paper Town

Maybe these days could mean so much more

With eyes wide open and feet on the floor

This room would not seem so blue

Painted with blank stares at pictures that have lost their cause

And the blinds are always closed

Too block out the cold stares

The phone is oh so still

And waiting to break the silence in the air

And Im huddled over papers

Creating a world

To escape the feelings that I once loved

With words on every building

These landmarks will reveal

All of the tiny people

That have ruined me

Over the years

Ive had so many chances to get this right

But Id just pass by you directing my sight

At the tiles on the floor at your reflection

Because its so hard to grow up when youre all alone

Sitting in my room this loneliness has overtaken me

All I have is this pen, so I am

Huddled over papers

Creating a world

To escape the feelings that I once loved

With words on every building

These landmarks will reveal

All of the tiny people
