Paper Boats
catchy intro, a lot of bass

Paper Boats
catchy intro, a lot of bass
Lyrics
Intro – spoken, minimal instruments
Fold my fears into paper boats
Let ‘em drift where the river goes
Verse 1 – spoken/rap, reggae bounce light
Currents hum like a song I know
But I lost the words a long time ago
Sun comes up in a lazy frame
Sky paints over the doubt and shame
Guess the tide doesn’t need my name
To tell it where it’s runnin’ to
melodic lift, no reggae
And I… I don’t wanna fight the flow
I’m learning how to let it go
pre hook build– full alt-pop overdrive
I’m just floatin’ on
See where the tide might go
Fold my doubts into
Paper boats I’ll never row
The stream knows more than I do
Yeah, the stream knows more than I do
Hook. last word stretched out over a bassline
Fold my fears into paper boats
Let ‘em drift where the river goes
Fold my fears into paper boats
Let ‘em drift where the river goes
musical interlude
Verse 2 – melodic/spoken blend, reggae bounce light
Every bend feels a little strange
Like the rules went and rearranged
But the banks never call my name
They just watch while the water moves
Got no map, got no time to keep
Just the hum of the river’s deep
And it’s louder than all my dreams
But softer than the morning news
melodic lift, no reggae
And I… I don’t wanna fight the flow
I’m learning how to let it go
pre hook build– full alt-pop overdrive
I’m just floatin’ on
See where the tide might go
Fold my doubts into
Paper boats I’ll never row
The stream knows more than I do
Yeah, the stream knows more than I do
Hook. last word stretched out over a bassline
Fold my fears into paper boats
Let ‘em drift where the river goes
Fold my fears into paper boats
Let ‘em drift where the river goes
musical interlude
Bridge – stripped back, intimate spoken
Maybe we’re all just drifting
Waiting for the wind to spin us round
And maybe we’re all just listening
For the moment we run aground
biggest energy, full alt-pop overdrive
I’m just floatin’ on
See where the tide might go
Fold my doubts into
Paper boats I’ll never row
The stream knows more than I do
Yeah, the stream knows more than I do
Hook last word stretched out over a bassline
Fold my fears into paper boats
Let ‘em drift where the river goes
Fold my fears into paper boats
Let ‘em drift where the river goes
