Paper Airplane
I've put it all behind me
Nothin' left to do or doubt
some may say
But every silver lining
always seems to have a cloud
that comes my way
Anticipated pleasure
or unexpected pain
No choice I fear
And love is hard to measure
That's why you'll find me...
Here all alone and still wondering why
Waiting inside for the cold to get colder
And here where it's clear that I've wasted my time
hoping to fly 'cause it's almost over now
(Mandolin/dobro solos)
People come together
People go their own way
Love conquers few
And I'll do whatever
I'll say what I need to say
Just not for you
How many days should I smile with a frown
'cause you're not around
with the sun on your shoulders?
And how many nights must I wake up alone
and know in my soul
that it's almost over now?
(Dobro solo)
My love is like a paper airplane
flying in the folded wind
Riding high to then low
But innocence is fair game
I'm hoping I can hold it in
Our love will die I know
