Rise Against "Paper Wings" lyrics

Paper Wings

[Verse 1]One last thing I beg you, pleaseJust before you goI've watched you fly on paper wingsHalfway 'round the world until they burned up in the atmosphereSent you spiraling downLanding somewhere far from hereWith no one else aroundTo catch you falling downAnd I'm looking at you now

[Chorus]And I can't tell if you're laughingBetween each smile there's a tear in your eyeThere's a train leaving town in an hourIt's not waiting for you and neither am I

[Verse 2]"Swing for the fences, son", he must have told you onceThat was a conversation you took nothing fromSo raise your glass nowLet's celebrate exactly what you've doneJust put off another day of knowing where you're fromYou can catch up with yourself, if you run..

[Chorus]

[Bridge]Is this the life that you lead? The life that's lead for you?Will you take the road that's been laid out before you?Will we cross paths somewhere else tonight?Somewhere else tonight?

[Chorus] x 2
