Paper wings

I haven't lost my path because I never had direction
And some days I can't see the sense in trying
When the only face that knows me is my own reflection
But because of you I feel like flying

Love letters make the lightest wings
I have paper stars and a heart that sings
Paper chains to hold me tight
And arms to rock me to sleep tonight

I have to be so careful not to touch them
Crumple the only words that make my heart still
Catch these tears and don't let them fall
Or the ink will run and I'll ruin it all
Because

Love letters make the lightest wings
I have handmade stars and a heart that sings
Paper chains to hold me tight
And arms to rock me to sleep tonight

Take this picture and fold it right
Open my tired eyes so I can see
The heart you made from that photo of me
You took while I was sleeping that winter night

Love letters make the lightest wings
I have paper stars and a heart that sings
Paper chains to hold me tight
Someone to hold my hand when I make my first flight
