Alison Krauss & Union Station • “Paper Airplane”
Written by Robert Lee Castleman
I’ve put it all behind me, nothing left to do or doubt, Some may say.
But every silver lining, always seems to have a cloud, That comes my way.
Anticipated pleasure, or unexpected pain, No choice I feel.
Love is hard to measure, hidden in the rain, That’s why you’ll find me .
Here all alone and still wondering why, Waitin inside for the cold to get colder.
And here where it’s clear that I’ve wasted my time, Hopin to fly cause it’s almost over now.
People come together, people go their own way, Love conquers few.
And I’ll do whatever, I’ll say what I need to say, Just not for you.
How many days should I smile with a frown, Cause you’re not around with the sun on your shoulders.
And how many nights must I wake up alone, And know in my soul that it’s almost over now.
Love is like a paper airplane, Flying in the folded dent, Riding high, dippin low.
But innocence is fair game, I’m hopin I can hold it in. Our love will die I know.
