Paper Laughter

Paper Laughter

-

We were chasing trouble
Chasing double our limits
I'm not a rebel
I don't know exactly why we did it
I guess it's just part of life
Secrets spill, we kiss and tell
I think we're just coal and steel
In a world of woods and paper feels

Paper dreams
And paper wings
Paper sweet
And paper things
Paper towns
And paper sheets
Paper crowns
And paper streets

And paper laughter
Paper laughter
I think I loved her
I loved her
Paper laughter

We are chasing fireflies
Craving dangerous nights for better or for worse
She's such a rebel
She knows something and I know I'm gonna get a paper-cut and I'm gonna hurt
I guess it's just part of life
Some stay grounded and some glide about anywhere
I think we've just discovered we're not real
In a world of woods and paper feels

Paper dreams
And paper wings
Paper sweet
And paper things
Paper towns
And paper sheets
Paper crowns
And paper streets

And paper laughter
Paper laughter
I think I loved her
I loved her
Paper laughter

Sliding through your window
In the late am
Think it was a Sunday
Praying amen
'Cause we're gonna get burned tonight
Get hurt tonight
Maybe try a little something new and learn this time
Baby, I don't see anything but you and I
And the moonlight reflected in your smile
Smile

Paper dreams
And paper wings
Paper sweet
And paper things
Paper towns
And paper sheets
Paper crowns
And paper streets

Paper tears
And paper hearts
Paper fears
And paper parts
Paper downs
And paper sleeps
Paper, now
You know paper bleeds

And paper laughter
Paper laughter
I think I loved her
I loved her
Paper laughter

Paper laughter
Paper laughter
I swear I loved her
I loved her
I love her
I love her
Paper laughter
I love her
I love her
I love her
I love her
In a world of woods and paper feels
I love her

But paper rips
And paper's weak
Paper crumples
And paper stings
Paper folds
And paper can crunch
Paper, behold
Paper's not much
