lyrics

Paper walls
We build our lives with paper walls
On paper thoughts
We build our minds on paper thoughts
And it's paper thin
We build our pride as soft as sin
On paper wings
We bide our time on paper wings

And I could build a home right there
Tearing holes for doors and windows
Letting in the morning air
Can you feel that sun-kissed rain?
And everything is caving in
So we begin again

Paper walls
We build our lives with paper walls
And fabric floors
We close our eyes where the fabric's torn
At open doors
We stay inside and hide away the wars

And I could build a home right there
Tearing holes for doors and windows
Letting in the morning air
Can you feel that sun-kissed rain?
And everything is caving in
So we begin again

And I could build a home right there
Tearing holes for doors and windows
Letting in the morning air
Can you feel that sun-kissed rain?
And everything is caving in
So we begin again
