Paper Boats

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Paper boats by the kitchen sink Small brave shapes before they drift You draw a map in blue-black ink And circle where the rivers split [Pre-Chorus] If the road forgets our names I’ll leave a mark beside the gate [Chorus] Take my hand, we’ll cross the water Step by step and breath by breath Every turn becomes a doorway Every doubt can learn to rest When the morning finds our window We’ll be ready for the day Take my hand, we’re moving forward Even when the signs have changed [Verse 2] Old receipts inside your coat A ticket folded into four You keep the things that helped us float And set the heavy ones ashore [Bridge] No promise needs a perfect answer No heart has to arrive unscarred We can build a little shelter From the pieces where we are [Chorus] Take my hand, we’ll cross the water Step by step and breath by breath Every turn becomes a doorway Every doubt can learn to rest When the morning finds our window We’ll be ready for the day Take my hand, we’re moving forward Even when the signs have changed [Outro] Paper boats by the kitchen sink Still afloat beneath the light
