Paper Walls

(album: Spiral - 2021)

And here's my stop, just drop me off
And I'll walk the last few hours of night
Missing sacred things I had to
Leave behind, to solo travel light

I suppose we'll see, start again where we
Left off, I can't see how
We can ask the past to take us back
But it won't, we're too far gone now

Some other world, some other life
Some other place, some paradise
My fortress made of paper walls
And my defenses had to fall
Some other world, some other life
Some other place, some paradise
Somehow the years drove us apart
I never could protect your heart

Some other world, some other life
Some other place, some paradise
My fortress made of paper walls
And my defenses had to fall
Some other world, some other life
Some other place, some paradise
Somehow the years drove us apart
I never could protect your heart

Every word I say sounds world away
From where on earth you've gone
A facade, it cracks, like a plastic mask
When we talk of moving on

I suppose we'll see, start again where we
Left off, I can't say when
We can ask the past to take us back
But it won't, I'm not that girl I was then

Some other time, some other time
Some other world, some other life

Some other world, some other life
Some other place, some paradise
My fortress made of paper walls
And my defenses had to fall
Some other world, some other life
Some other place, some paradise
Somehow the years drove us apart
I never could protect your heart

Some other world, some other life
Some other place, some paradise
My fortress made of paper walls
And my defenses had to fall
Some other world, some other life
Some other place, some paradise
Somehow the years drove us apart
I never could protect your heart
