Last night I could not sleep
I thought about what you said to me
How memories are hollow seeds
Planting paper window dreams
And now I know just what that means
Most things don't last and love can leave
And if we hold on to these memories
Of broken bonds that could not be
Framed in paper window dreams
I remember christmas eve
When I got sick and could not breathe
Frosted windows and chattered teeth
A helpless heart stuck on a sleeve
Framed in paper window dreams
Everyone I've ever met
Has felt something I haven't yet
A cause, a cure, a deep regret
A face, a fear they can't forget
So now I know just what that means
Most things don't last and love can leave
And if we hold on to these memories
Of broken hands that could not be
Framed in paper window dreams
