Drifting Like a Paper Plane

In the quiet of the night, I sit and wonder,

About the dreams we built, now they're torn asunder.

The echoes of laughter, now just shadows of light,

As I drive alone into the fading night.

You packed your bags on a rainy day,

Left me standing here, words left to say.

The picture frames still hang on the wall,

Memories whispering, I still recall.

I’m just a ghost in this empty house,

Living by the clock, ticking slow like a mouse.

But there's a song inside, still hoping to play,

Searching for the notes, in this heartache ballet.

Oh oh, drifting like a paper plane,

Caught in the wind, feeling all this pain.

But I’ll shout it out, through the stars and the rain,

Living my life, yeah, I’ll dance in the rain.

Oh oh, letting go of yesterday,

Finding my way through this old cliché.

With each passing mile, I’ll scream and I’ll say,

This broken heart will heal, come what may.

I take the back road to find some peace,

Every sunset whispers, it’ll never cease.

The radio plays our favorite song,

Reminding me of where we went wrong.

I’m just a wanderer, lost in this town,

Picking up the pieces, never backing down.

But there's a light ahead, as I change my way,

Holding on to hope, as the shadows sway.

Oh oh, drifting like a paper plane,

Caught in the wind, feeling all this pain.

But I’ll shout it out, through the stars and the rain,

Living my life, yeah, I’ll dance in the rain.

Oh oh, letting go of yesterday,

Finding my way through this old cliché.

With each passing mile, I’ll scream and I’ll say,

This broken heart will heal, come what may.

Time won't stop for a man on the mend,

Each twist and turn brings a new friend.

I’ll rise from the ashes, like a phoenix in flight,

Finding my way back, into the light.

So here’s to the days under a faded sky,

To all the lost dreams, I learned to let fly.

With open roads ahead and the world in my hands,

I’m starting again, yeah, I'm making new plans.
