Paper Sun

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We draw a circle in the dust Call it law, call it trust A painted sign above the door And soon it means much more Names on a page, vows in stone We hold them up and call them known One shared glance, one spoken line Makes the edge feel fine [Pre-Chorus] And if we all look twice At the same old flame It starts to feel Like it was born that way [Chorus] We made the sun from paper We made the sun from paper And then we swore it burned (We swore it burned) We gave the dust a face We gave the dust a face Now every heart returns (To what it learned) [Verse 2] A flag in the rain, a bench in town A rumor passed from hand to mouth A bell that rings before the dawn And suddenly the world leans on A map with lines, a wedding ring A classroom light, a bank that sings We keep the story in our hands Till it feels like land [Pre-Chorus] And what we call the real Is a choir of signs Each voice repeats Till the shape aligns [Chorus] We made the sun from paper We made the sun from paper And then we swore it burned (We swore it burned) We gave the dust a face We gave the dust a face Now every heart returns (To what it learned) [Bridge] Take away the names And watch it shake Take away the script And see what breaks Still the human voice Finds a line to stand Making stone from song In a trembling hand [Final Chorus] We made the sun from paper We made the sun from paper And then we swore it burned (We swore it burned) We gave the dust a face We gave the dust a face Now every heart returns (To what it learned) We made the sun from paper We made the sun from paper And still we call it true (Still we call it true)
