Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Coffee’s getting cold on the sill
Steam writes your name on the glass
Sun is bright but everything’s pale
Colors washed out by the past
Your sweater still hangs by the door
Sleeves like hands reaching for mine
I water all the plants that you left
They lean to the light
I lean to the quiet
[Chorus]
We were paper boats at noon
Sailing in a living room
Little waves from every move
Pulled us to the corners
Now I’m drifting in your chair
Talking to the empty air
Every shadow puts you there
But you keep getting farther
[Verse 2]
Found your ticket stubs in a book
Folded like a secret map
Tracing where we once meant to go
Whole small worlds in your laugh
I sleep on the side that you chose
Leave your pillow untouched
Aligned
The street keeps humming under my window
Life moving on
I’m lagging behind
[Chorus]
We were paper boats at noon
Sailing in a living room
Little waves from every move
Pulled us to the corners
Now I’m drifting in your chair
Talking to the empty air
Every shadow puts you there
But you keep getting farther
[Bridge]
If I let the curtains fall
Will you walk in with the dark? (oh)
If I turn the records off
Will I hear you in the hush?
[Chorus]
We were paper boats at noon
Sailing in a living room
Little waves from every move
Pulled us to the corners
Now I’m drifting in your chair
Talking to the empty air
Every shadow puts you there
And I can’t pull you closer
