Paper Swan

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I folded your shirt by the chair Kept your mug by the sink The blue chip on the table Still makes me stop and think Your name in my mouth Like rain on glass I say it too softly To make it last [Pre-Chorus] And I know You’re gone from my hands But not from my bones Not from my plans [Chorus] Come back to me Come back to me I still light the door for you Come back to me Come back to me Like you used to do [Verse 2] The clock on the wall Won’t tell me how To live in this house When you’re not around I water the plant By the window ledge Like it knows your laugh And the things you said [Pre-Chorus] And I know This ache has a name It sleeps in the dark It calls me the same [Chorus] Come back to me Come back to me I still light the door for you Come back to me Come back to me Like you used to do [Bridge] If love is a river Why does it break Right at the stone Where the strong ones wait If I am a paper swan On a restless sea Would you still find me Would you still find me [Final Chorus] Come back to me Come back to me I still light the door for you Come back to me Come back to me Like you used to do Oh, come back to me (come back to me) I’m calling through the dark Oh, come back to me (come back to me) You still live in my heart
