Paper sky
Indie folk-pop with psychedelic influences. Acoustic guitar plays a steady eighth-note strumming pattern. Electric bass follows the root notes with a warm, rounded tone. Drums feature a dry snare and prominent hi-hats, transitioning to a driving backbeat in the choruses. Male lead vocals are doubled and layered with harmonies, utilizing falsetto in the higher registers. A clean electric guitar provides melodic counterpoint with light chorus and delay. Subtle synth pads and a glockenspiel add textural layers. The tempo is 118 BPM in the key of G Major.

Lyrics
Intro
Verse 1
Floating down a paper sky
Tangerine lullabies
Feathered clouds that slowly bend
Where the waking moment ends
Silver rivers in your hair
Moving like a whispered prayer
Every step just drifts away
Nothing here is meant to stay
Close your eyes, don't let it break
Let the colors start to wake
Chorus
We are spinning in between
What is lost and what has been
Hold the light but let it go
Watch it shimmer soft and slow
Call my name across the blue (ooh)
I'm not gone, I'm just with you
In the space where shadows play
We can drift and fade away
Verse 2
Marble echoes, velvet sound
Upside world is turning 'round
Painted faces in the breeze
Smiling through the tall glass trees
Sip the glow of liquid gold
Stories never fully told
Every thought begins to fly
When you start by asking why
Will it rise soft and slow
There's no place we have to go
Chorus
We are spinning in between
What is lost and what has been
Hold the light but let it go
Watch it shimmer soft and slow
Call my name across the blue (ooh)
I'm not gone, I'm just with you
In the space where shadows play
We can drift and fade away
Bridge
Nothing's heavy, nothing's real
Only what you choose to feel
Time is just a passing tone
You were never here alone
vocal swell
Melting to the quiet stream
Life is softer than it seems
Outro
Paper sky carrying me
Where the waking cannot be
If we fall, we fall as one
Into echoes of the sun
