Paper Plane Heart

You drew a map on a napkin

Crooked lines

Coffee stains

Said

“Pick a star

Any distance”

Smiled like you weren’t afraid

You fold your dreams into corners

Turn them into something brave

Launch them out of the window

Watch them drift

Drift away

You got a paper plane heart

Always taking off

Never landing

Riding every wrong wind home

Even when the sky looks heavy

You got a paper plane heart

Creased but it keeps expanding

If you fall apart in my hands

I’ll fold you back again

You keep a list on your mirror

Things to do when you’re scared

“Call a friend

Take a shower

Breathe in twice

Say a prayer”

Ink runs dark in the bathroom

But the words still find your face

You trace them slow with your finger

Like a promise you won’t erase

You got a paper plane heart

Always taking off

Never landing

Riding every wrong wind home

Even when the sky looks heavy

You got a paper plane heart

Creased but it keeps expanding

If you fall apart in my hands

I’ll fold you back again

One day the storm will be quiet

Clouds will clear

Just wait

We’ll count the rips in the pages

Call them proof that we stayed

And if the world feels bigger

Than the wings that you made

I’ll be the runway

Baby

Run

Jump

Fly

Be brave (oh)

You got a paper plane heart

Always taking off

Never landing

Riding every wrong wind home

Even when the sky looks heavy

You got a paper plane heart

Creased but it keeps expanding

If you fall apart in my hands

I’ll fold you back again
