Paperboy

Another broken promise

Don't know what I expected

You only want me when it's perfect

But you're the one that always wrecks it

I'm not lookin' for somebody

Who just runs when it's not easy, no

No

I need someone a little stronger

Who's gonna stick around longer

And when the storm gets louder

They can stand their ground and

Take my hand and stand together

Not get swept up with the weather, no

No

'Cause paper hands can't hold me

And a paper heart can't love me

I can't put my faith in somethin' that just folds

Paper words sound pretty

But they don't mean nothin' to me

'Cause every time it rains I watch 'em go

My love is fire and lightnin'

So I'll avoid you, Paperboy

Paper planes don't fly high

Pictures fade in the sunshine

Paper chains look so strong but

These things never last long

I could love you to the letter

But it wouldn't last forever, no

No

'Cause paper hands can't hold me

And a paper heart can't love me

I can't put my faith in somethin' that just folds

Paper words sound pretty

But they don't mean nothin' to me

'Cause every time it rains I watch 'em go

My love is fire and lightnin'

So I'll avoid you, Paperboy

We're made to tear and burn and

To crumble with hurt and

You say that you love me

The wind blows, then you leave

'Cause paper hands can't hold me

And a paper heart can't love me

I can't put my faith in somethin' that just folds

Paper words sound pretty

But they don't mean nothin' to me

'Cause every time it rains I watch them go

(Watch them go)

'Cause paper hands can't hold me

And a paper heart can't love me

I can't put my faith in somethin' that just folds

Paper words sound pretty

But they don't mean nothin' to me

'Cause every time it rains I watch 'em go

My love is fire and lightnin'

So I'll avoid you, Paperboy

My love is fire and lightnin'

So I'll avoid you, Paperboy
