Paper Plane Promise

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You came in quiet With rain on your shoes Left a trail of street salt On the floor by the door I was all locked up Like a note in a drawer You said, "Keep it simple" And I wanted more [Pre-Chorus] So I held my breath When you turned your face Every little wound Started finding a place And the room got small Then it opened up When you said my name Like a paper cup [Chorus] Take me higher Take me home (Paper plane promise) Don't let go Take me higher Take me home (Paper plane promise) Through the storm [Verse 2] Now your coat hangs crooked On the back of my chair Half a glass of water And your laugh in the air We got little things That nobody sees Like a cracked phone screen And a key on the keys You say love gets heavy But we lift it up With a bruise and a smile And a half-full cup [Pre-Chorus] So I hold your hand When the night gets cold There’s a fire in us That we never sold And the walls lean in Then they fall away When you say my name I can almost stay [Chorus] Take me higher Take me home (Paper plane promise) Don't let go Take me higher Take me home (Paper plane promise) Through the storm [Bridge] If I lose my way Meet me at the bend With the porch swing creak And the broken fence If the sky comes down And the roads run thin I’ll be on my feet When you call me in [Chorus] Take me higher Take me home (Paper plane promise) Don't let go Take me higher Take me home (Paper plane promise) Through the storm [Outro] Hold that line Hold that glow (Paper plane promise) Let it go Take me higher Take me home (Paper plane promise) Through the storm
