[Verse 1] You picked a day for no reason And I wore it like a sign Found a map in the backseat Still got sand in the spine I kept my keys in my pocket You kept your laugh in the air We were two small sparks in rainwater Trying to go somewhere [Pre-Chorus] And it felt like We could drift for miles If we just held on To the corner of the sky [Chorus] Paper boats, paper boats We were folded and brave Paper boats, paper boats On a bucket of waves You said go, so I went With the moon in my coat Paper boats, paper boats Don’t sink yet, don’t sink yet [Verse 2] Now the porch light’s a little crooked And the mailbox leans to the left Got your name on a note in my wallet Like a coin I never spent I still hear that small engine sputter See your hands on the wheel Some things flash and some things linger Some things stay too real [Pre-Chorus] And it feels like We could drift for miles If we just hold on To the corner of the sky [Chorus] Paper boats, paper boats We were folded and brave Paper boats, paper boats On a bucket of waves You said go, so I went With the moon in my coat Paper boats, paper boats Don’t sink yet, don’t sink yet [Bridge] If the water takes my name Tell it I was here With a pocket full of matches And a heart full of year I’m still calling your line Through the salt and foam If we never find the shore, babe We still made our own [Chorus] Paper boats, paper boats We were folded and brave Paper boats, paper boats On a bucket of waves You said go, so I went With the moon in my coat Paper boats, paper boats Don’t sink yet, don’t sink yet
