[Verse 1]
At the dawn
The birds fly
Circles overhead
I tried to rest
But I know you got
The letters that I sent
Could it be
Another solid obstacle
You see
Were you looking for a way
To set me free
I never quite believed the way
You loved me
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm holding on
Though our love was paper thin
I can make birds with paper wings
And we can let go of everything
[Drop]
[Chorus]
I'll be wishing
Wishing on my paper birds
I'll be wishing
Wishing on my paper birds
[Verse 2]
As we run we can find
A way to let go of our ties
As we breathe in the air
We can begin to feel alive
As we run we can find
We are almost taking flight
With my paper wings
[Chorus]
I'll be wishing
Wishing on my paper birds
I'll be wishing
Wishing on my paper birds
[Bridge]
Never quite believed
The way you loved me
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm holding on
Though our love was paper thin
I can make birds with paper wings
And we can let go of everything
[Drop]
[Chorus]
I'll be wishing
Wishing on my paper birds
I'll be wishing
Wishing on my paper birds
And I'll be wishing
On my paper birds
[Outro]
I'm so tired of
Letting go of what I love
Now I can see
That all I need is me
