[Verse 1] We met by the corner gate Your tie was crooked, mine was fate Lunch tray hearts and a secret grin We wrote our names on the back of a quiz Your sneakers scuffed the campus floor You said, “One day, I want more” I held that dream in my sleeve that day Like it could learn how to fly away [Pre-Chorus] And the sun felt gold On our borrowed time Every little dare Felt bigger than life You said, “Run with me” So I almost did My whole heart shouting I still hear it [Chorus] Paper plane summer, fly again Take me back where it all began Paper plane summer, we were young Two bright sparks and a single song Hold my hand, don’t let it go We were dreams in a warm wind glow Paper plane summer, fly again I still chase what we couldn’t keep then [Verse 2] After class, at the ramen shop You drew our future on a napkin top A tiny stage, a bigger crowd I laughed too loud, you swore it proud Then June turned into a moving train Your call came less, then came the rain But when I see a paper plane I feel your voice in my chest again [Pre-Chorus] And the moon stayed low On the same old street We were learning how To lose and breathe You said, “Don’t forget What we said that day” I kept that promise In a hidden place [Chorus] Paper plane summer, fly again Take me back where it all began Paper plane summer, we were young Two bright sparks and a single song Hold my hand, don’t let it go We were dreams in a warm wind glow Paper plane summer, fly again I still chase what we couldn’t keep then [Bridge] Now I’m under bigger skies Still wearing that brave, half-broken smile If you’re somewhere chasing yours I hope it opens every door And if our names cross one more time I’ll know that spark was never mine It lived to burn, it lived to stay A little forever in that day [Final Chorus] Paper plane summer, fly again Take me back where it all began Paper plane summer, we were young Two bright sparks and a single song Hold my hand, don’t let it go We were dreams in a warm wind glow Paper plane summer, fly again I still chase what we couldn’t keep then [Outro] Fly again (We were young) Fly again (Still a song) Paper plane summer
