Paper Wings

*(Verse 1)*
I met you on a Sunday, under watercolor skies
The autumn leaves were whispering, secrets in disguise
You spoke of old horizons, of roads that called you back
I traced them on your shoulders, like a map with faded tracks

*(Chorus)*
Fly, fly, on your paper wings
Drifting like a melody, the wind begins to sing
If I hold you closer, will you still be free?
Or are you only meant to dance away from me?

*(Verse 2)*
The café smelled like cedarwood, your laughter filled the space
You drew a line in sugar, a line I couldn’t chase
Said love’s a fleeting season, like the tides upon the sand
I reached for you, but water slipped right through my hand

*(Chorus)*
Fly, fly, on your paper wings
Drifting like a melody, the wind begins to sing
If I hold you closer, will you still be free?
Or are you only meant to dance away from me?

*(Bridge)*
Some hearts are bound like ivy, clinging to the stone
Some are like the sparrow, aching to be known
I tried to keep you grounded, but you belonged to flight
And now I watch the skyline, hoping you're all right

*(Outro)*
I met you on a Sunday, under watercolor skies
The autumn leaves are falling now, but love never really dies
