[Verse 1]
Sitting on the roof of your parents' house
I watch your mouth as you talk
But I don't make a sound
[Verse 2]
I'm feeling like the key at the end of the kite
And I'm trying to catch something
That I'm afraid of
[Chorus 1]
So just like a paper plane
Caught in a hurricane
We are swept away
Into the great unknown
[Verse 3]
Your words are like raindrops falling on my hands
And my heart's blowing back and forth
Like a weathervane
[Verse 4]
And the water is rising all around
And if we don't move soon, my love
We're gonna drown
[Chorus 1]
So just like a paper plane
Caught in a hurricane
We are swept away
Into the great unknown
[Chorus 2]
So you lean in
And our lips say "Amen"
And I forget
What it means to be afraid
[Instrumental Outro]
