Paper Towns

Cobblestones echo beneath my feet

Morning dew and city heat

Shadows stretch across the lawn

Echoes linger though they're gone

I wander through painted dreams

Where nothing's ever what it seems

Paper towns crumble in my hands

Lines and scars map where I stand

Whistle in the wind, sing my silent hymn

Let the dawn begin where all stories end

Threads unravel, days turn brown

Still, I walk these paper towns

Windows hold the light inside

Curtains hide what we confide

Old guitars in silent rooms

Carry hope along the tune

Every chord another scar

Telling me right where you are

Paper towns crumble in my hands

Lines and scars map where I stand

Whistle in the wind, sing my silent hymn

Let the dawn begin where all stories end

Threads unravel, days turn brown

Still, I walk these paper towns

Footsteps fading with the night

Broken verses made things right

Hands remembered, hearts confound

Every tear builds this paper town

Whistle in the wind, sing my silent hymn

Let the dawn begin where all stories end

Threads unravel, days turn brown

Still, I walk these paper townsSo I'll walk, shadows tall

Through paper towns that still recall
