[Verse 1]
So many days, since I saw your face
God knows how many times, I've been tryin' not to call you
You've been around the world, up to the moon
Always on the run so young and restless
[Pre-Chorus]
She was long gone when she was close to me
Oh, I just had to let her go for now
Just let her leave
Now the road is long and she's far away
Don't have a boat, no, I can't go by train
Ooh, baby, I'm coming anyway
[Chorus]
I'll build a paper plane so I can fly over the skyline
I know it sounds insane, but I will try
'Cause wherever you are
Yeah, wherever-ever I'll risk it for ya
And on my paper plane, yeah, I will fly over the skyline
And if it's gonna rain then I could die
But wherever you are (Wherever you are)
Yeah, wherever-ever I'll risk it for ya, yeah
[Verse 2]
How d'ya feel?
Tell me where do you stand?
Where do you call home? (Where do you call home?)
Girl, I need to know
'Cause in my heart (Eh, eh)
There is a hole
That only you can fill
So I'm coming for ya
[Pre-Chorus]
She was long gone when she was close to me
Oh, I just had to let her go for now
Just let her leave
Now the road is long and she's far away
Don't have a boat, no, I can't go by train
Ooh, baby, I'm coming anyway
[Chorus]
And on my paper plane, yeah, I will fly over the skyline
And if it's gonna rain then I could die
But wherever you are (Wherever you are)
Yeah, wherever-ever I'll risk it for ya
Ahhh, ahhh
[Bridge]
I know I'll find you
My heart belongs to you
Then this won't hurt no more
No, this won't hurt
I'll build a paper plane so I can fly over the skyline
[Chorus]
And on my paper plane, yeah, I will fly over the skyline
And if it's gonna rain then I could die (Then I could die)
But wherever you are (Wherever you are)
Yeah, wherever-ever I'll risk it for ya
[Outro]
I know I'll find you
My heart belongs to you
Then this won't hurt no more
No, this won't hurt no more
Paper Plane was written by Patric Sarin & Milos Rosas & Joonas Angeria.

“Paper Plane”, I think the story in this song is great. I build a paper plane and fly over to my girl, hoping it won’t rain. We had to move to another studio to sing this ‘cause there were a lot of girls outside my studio screaming, that was kinda cool.
