[Verse 1]
I found your note by the door
Creased in half, stained with rain
You left the keys on the hook
But you took the picture frame
Coffee still cold on the sink
Your red scarf on my chair
I keep reaching for your name
Like you’re still hanging there
[Pre-Chorus]
Say you’re not gone for good
Say you’re just out of view
My hands still know the shape
Of every little thing you do
[Chorus]
Paper heartbeat, don’t fade out
Paper heartbeat, stay with me now
I can still hear your name
In the walls of this house
Paper heartbeat, don’t break down
Paper heartbeat, stay with me now
If love was only a page
Why does it hurt like this now?
[Verse 2]
Your boots by the back porch steps
Still got dust from the hill
That orange mug with the chip
Sits there like a promise still
I tried to move on fast
Tried to burn those old days down
But every room in this place
Keeps your shadow spinning round
[Pre-Chorus]
Say you’re not gone for good
Say you’re just out of view
My hands still know the shape
Of every little thing you do
[Chorus]
Paper heartbeat, don’t fade out
Paper heartbeat, stay with me now
I can still hear your name
In the walls of this house
Paper heartbeat, don’t break down
Paper heartbeat, stay with me now
If love was only a page
Why does it hurt like this now?
[Bridge]
If I fold you slow
Will you come back clean?
If I hold you close
Will you live in me?
I’m still standing here
In the wreck of us
With your almost touch
And my foolish trust
[Final Chorus]
Paper heartbeat, don’t fade out
Paper heartbeat, stay with me now
I can still hear your name
In the walls of this house
Paper heartbeat, don’t break down
Paper heartbeat, stay with me now
If love was only a page
Why does it hurt like this now?
Paper heartbeat, don’t fade out
Paper heartbeat, stay with me now
