I found a map in a cereal box

Three red lines and a coffee stain

I folded it into a paper plane

And sent it through the fan again

You were laughing on the other side

With a bookmark in your hair

Said, “If this thing lands on a better day”

Then maybe we should go there

So I held my breath

At the screen door swing

You said one small dare

Can change everything

Paper plane weather

Take us together

Spin us wherever

We don’t know yet

Paper plane weather

Make this last forever

If the sky says “go”

Then baby, we go

We rode that thing past the grocery lot

Past the field with the bent-up fence

Past the kid with the red balloon

And the dog on the fire escape

You said “Look how far a little hope

Can travel on a stubborn wind”

And I swear that when you said my name

The whole block tilted in

So I held your sleeve

When the gust came through

You said “don’t look back

It’s already true”

Paper plane weather

Take us together

Spin us wherever

We don’t know yet

Paper plane weather

Make this last forever

If the sky says “go”

Then baby, we go

If we land in a ditch

If we land in the rain

I’ll still call it a win

If you call my name

Paper plane weather

Take us together

Spin us wherever

We don’t know yet

Paper plane weather

Make this last forever

If the sky says “go”

Then baby, we go

Paper plane weather

Nothing feels better

Hold on to the edge

And let it show
