Paper Door

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I fell asleep in your room Moon on the ceiling fan My name turned into a ripple Then vanished through your hand The floor became a hallway Made of cheap hotel light I walked past all my memories With my shoes untied [Pre-Chorus] Then the walls started breathing And the air said, come on I found a crack in the quiet And I slipped right beyond [Chorus] Take me out, take me out Through the paper door Take me out, take me out I don’t wake here anymore I’m gone, I’m gone Where the rules fall apart Take me out, take me out Back to the edge of your heart (take me out) [Verse 2] I saw my old window open To a purple empty street Your voice came like a beacon From a place I couldn’t reach I learned how to fly in circles Over every locked-up thing Then I woke with your hand in mine And a ringing in my wings [Pre-Chorus] Then the walls started breathing And the air said, come on I found a crack in the quiet And I slipped right beyond [Chorus] Take me out, take me out Through the paper door Take me out, take me out I don’t wake here anymore I’m gone, I’m gone Where the rules fall apart Take me out, take me out Back to the edge of your heart (take me out) [Bridge] If I drift too far Call my name real soft I know that sound It can lift me off One more step And I’m back in the dream Still half in your room Still not what it seems [Final Chorus] Take me out, take me out Through the paper door Take me out, take me out I don’t wake here anymore I’m gone, I’m gone Where the rules fall apart Take me out, take me out Back to the edge of your heart (take me out)
