Paper Home

(album: Here We Go, Stereo! - 2001)

I walk passed the phone
And I like to be alone
All on my own
Inside my paper home

Yeah well
I wish I was good
And I wish I was beautiful to you
And that you understood
That I'd fight a war for you
If I should
If I should

You sit by the fire
At least I imagine you do
L. Cohen sings Avalanche
I'm in a book, so are you
I wish you were here
To run, laugh and cry with me
Suddenly appear
To love, live and die with me

In dreams I save you from harm
In dreams you always worship me
Like I've always worshipped you
In dreams we're together
It's you and me, I see
Yeah that I see

I can always pretend
When I don't want to be alone
That you're back again
Safe in our paper home

Things I've done wrong
Countless in name and number
But pride feels no pain
Now I run off to hide my shame

In dreams I save you from harm
Yes in dreams you always worship me
Like I've always worshipped you
O in dreams we're together
It's you and me
That I see

Too bad it's just a dream
Maybe
