[Verse 1] We taped our names on the window And counted cars passing slow With a map made out of daydreams And a heart set on the road Your old shoes by the doorway My little voice, "let's go" We were broke but we were golden With a fire nobody stole [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I can still feel it The summer in our hands We said we'd never lose it If we could just believe again [Chorus] We were paper planes Flying through the rain Chasing every spark Till it knew our names We were paper planes Never tied down Still hear that dream call Even now [Verse 2] Now the mirror's got some changes And the miles on every plan But that same moon on the ceiling Still makes me want to dance I keep the old song playing On a worn-out little drive And your laugh comes back like lightning When I close my eyes [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I can still feel it The summer in our hands We said we'd never lose it If we could just believe again [Chorus] We were paper planes Flying through the rain Chasing every spark Till it knew our names We were paper planes Never tied down Still hear that dream call Even now [Bridge] Maybe the years got louder Maybe the world got wide But I won't put that flame away I still keep it alive So if you miss the old days Hold on, don't let go The kid we were is singing From the front row [Final Chorus] We were paper planes Flying through the rain Chasing every spark Till it knew our names We were paper planes Never tied down Still hear that dream call Even now We were paper planes Take me back there With your hand in mine In the open air
