Paper Rose City

Like the rain in the trees
I carried the words that you wrote
Into the desert of the unknown
Felt like I didn't belong
To the chatter and the crowds
I was on fire but you didn't see me burn

I'm so out of touch
You can't feel me now
The downtown lights dance bright
I kiss them goodnight
If you'd never lost you'd never know
Well I'll just fold another paper rose

The flames bloom in the distance
The flowers are growing inside me
The rain falls and I am in love
Felt like I was a stranger
Gonna practice resurrection
Focus on a star in the sky that will guide me

I'm so out of touch
You can't feel me now
The downtown lights dance bright
I kiss them goodnight
If you'd never lost you'd never know
Well I'll just fold another paper rose

I'll build a city out of paper roses
I'll build a city out of paper roses
