Paper Crane Train

[Verse 1] I saw your note in chalk On the station bench Three plum seeds in your coat And a bent tin lunchbox You said, “meet me by the river” So I did [Pre-Chorus] The paper crane train Keeps folding in my chest Your name on my tongue Like rain on a match One more step Then the whole room leans [Chorus] Paper crane train Carry me home Paper crane train Don’t leave me alone (hold on) Paper crane train Carry me home (come back) Paper crane train Carry me home [Verse 2] Your shoes by the doorway Mud on the heel Two cracked peach pits On the windowsill I left the kettle cold For your laugh to come back But the house just kept Its small white ache [Pre-Chorus] The paper crane train Keeps folding in my chest Your name on my tongue Like rain on a match One more step Then the whole room leans [Chorus] Paper crane train Carry me home Paper crane train Don’t leave me alone (hold on) Paper crane train Carry me home (come back) Paper crane train Carry me home [Bridge] I’m not asking for forever Just your coat on the chair Just one more dent in the cushion Just your hands in the air Let the night bend softer Let it learn my face I can hear you in the rafters Calling me by name [Final Chorus] Paper crane train Carry me home Paper crane train Don’t leave me alone (hold on) Paper crane train Carry me home (come back) Paper crane train Carry me home
