Paper Airplanes

These paper airplanes in my head
Hitting the dead ends
These paper airplanes flying through my head
Drift through the distance

This is my version of a love song to you
To make up for all the real words that I can't say to you
Now we both know I can keep a promise
And you know damn well I can be honest
But this is my version of a love song to you
When the paper airplanes flew
Left me nothing but you

These paper airplanes in my head
Hitting the dead ends
These paper airplanes flying through my head
Drift through the distance
I know, I know
That you want them to unfold

This is my really sorta sad song to you
To make up for all the real words that I can't say to you
Now we both know I can keep a promise
And you know damn well I can be honest
But this is my version of a love song to you
When the paper airplanes flew
Left me nothing but you

These paper airplanes stuck in my head
I'm just trying to make sense
They've got your name written in pen
Thought I tossed them away
Crumpled up, left them there to stay
These planes are flying back to me
Miles far but I can see you

And you could go away now 
But you're never really gone
You never really stayed, maybe that's what's wrong
Fight or flight, you never learned to fight
So I guess that's why you left it all behind
Try and say thank you, for the good times that we knew
But trying won't save nothing when there's nothing left
You said this loves a keeper
You wanted to believe her
Sometimes a guy can try but we'll all stand and cry
Black suits black ties on the foggy day
Nothing left to say but "hey, are you doing okay?"
Now the paper airplanes in my brain are made of steel
The only thing I can feel
Hearts crack like someone under pressure
Done for a reason of relief
But regret not having stayed strong as the memories that will forever be

These paper airplanes catching my breath
Float through wind
I know there's no choice
From up there you can't here my voice

These paper airplanes in my head
