Paper Ships To Japan

(album: Japan - 2012)

"Yeah, that's it."
"One, two, one, two, three, four."

Well the river moves like this and paper ships sink fast
And all the leaves from fall blow over from our feet onto the grass
And I will zip my sweatshirt up, pull the hood right down
And I will pretend that I'm busy so I don't care when you're around

She says her favourite colour is the emotions that are shattered
But your secret's safe with me, because I don't think that they matter
And your smile makes me nervous, your eyes they make me talk
But when I dropped my keys four stories, it looks like I'll have to walk

And you're a young and dangerous recluse
And paper ships don't float when filled with lies
And you're a young and dangerous recluse
And paper ships don't float when filled with lies

And this is going to fuck up all our permanent records
And this is going to make all of our parents proud
And this is going to fuck up all our permanent records
And this is going to make all of our parents proud

But you're a young and dangerous recluse
And paper ships don't float when filled with lies

"Yeah, we just ran outta gas so looks like we're walking."
"Alright, let me grab my jacket."
