Paper Plane lyrics

Your baby was born out in the rain We talked in only whispers when remembering You sat and smiled and felt his gaze The distant love unfolding was a blank white page And as it floated along the hallway And through the door and down the driveway You told me hearts are just like paper planes You painted a lot and I was a fan Of the grey-gowned beauty, flute held in her hands I wanted to learn and I said it out loud But the practice only trapped you on your own dark cloud And as it floated over everything The family parted and I couldn't stay You threw your heart so hard it flew away I picture we're walking and whistling by And a gentle line of questions standing at your side When I found my love and went off to school You lent me your truck and I listened to you As you floated along the hallway And through the door and into the next frame I started folding up my paper plane
