Paper Planes

Boo Hewerdine


And so the year begins
A time for changing things
There are embers in the air
I will take the time
To sort yours from mine
Some things you can't share 

Like you said
When nothing else remains
Love letters become paper planes 

Now I can't understand
Words I hold in my hand
They won't make sense today
Can't hold them here inside
I'll throw the windows wide
And watch them sail away 

Like you said
When nothing else remains
Love letters become paper planes 

Take one now and fold it over
Let the corners meet together
Walk into the morning air
Flick your hand, it's gone forever 

And watch them sail away 

Like you said
When nothing else remains
Love letters become paper planes
Like you said
When nothing else remains
Love letters become paper planes
