Paper Hearts

The first time we met it felt like fireworks

The perks of the Midwest now've suddenly changed

The whole world passes by on a string I am tied

You're holding the can on the opposite side

Now lets open the door

Take a breath of fresh air

That summer was kind to us both

Now its time to be strong

You came to me opened your heart as we said hello

A year has passed and now you're gone, I begged you not to go

You said to me there's nothing here for me to hold on to

So darling let me be the one that holds on to you

No matter how many times I say you're beautiful

You'll act as if I'm telling a lie

All the phone calls we've made left us frail its a shame

Like two papers hearts riding on a paper train

Red-eye flights, summer drives, shooting stars in the sky

Is it enough to suffice, if you can't even trust me?

You came to me opened your heart as we said hello

A year has passed and now you're gone, I begged you not to go

You said to me there's nothing here for me to hold on to

So darling let me be the one that holds on to you

Where has our love gone now that we're apart

Is it lying dormant or is it just hiding in the darkest depths of our hearts

There is nothing that I need to prove

I've done, all that I can, to get through to you
