Paper Boats

We were nine years old with a rainy streetFolding all our futures out of newsYou said yours would sail across the worldI said mine would follow after you

Oh, paper boats, oh, paper boatsEverything we built, we let it floatOh, paper boats, we still believeThe water takes us somewhere we can breathe
