Paperlate Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus]
Paperlate, paperlate
Paperlate, paperlate

[Chorus]
Ah, paperlate, ooh, I'm sorry
But there's no one on the line
Ah, paperlate, ooh, I'm sorry
But rest easy, no news is good news

[Verse 1]
Ooh, it's too easy to live like clockwork
Tick-tock watching the world go by
Any change would take too long
So dry your eyes
Ooh, it's too easy to live in a cold sweat
Just sitting dripping in pools below
You can wipe your face, kill the pain
But the fever won't go, no, no

[Chorus]
Ah, paperlate, pull it together now
Put your feet back on the ground
Ah, paperlate, ooh, don't worry now
You're not alone, look around you
Paperlate, ooh, I'm sorry
But there's no one on the line
Ah, paperlate, ooh, I'm sorry
But rest easy, no news is good news

[Verse 2]
Ooh, it's too easy to compute your future
Taking no risks and playing too safe
Any change would take too long
So dry your eyes
Ooh, it's too easy to talk about rocking the boat
Making changes and changing track
But you'd better not lock that door
'Cause you'll be coming back

[Bridge]
Ah, you're breathing faster
Silence the only sound
There's no need to be nice on the way up
'Cause you're not coming down

[Pre-Chorus]
Paperlate, paperlate
Ah, paperlate, paperlate
Paperlate, paperlate
Ah, paperlate, paperlate

[Chorus]
Ah, paperlate, ooh, I'm sorry
But there's no one on the line
Ah, paperlate, ooh, I'm sorry
But rest easy no news is good news
Ooh, paperlate, now, I'm sorry
But there's no one on the line
Ah, paperlate, ooh, I'm sorry
But rest easy no news is good news
