[Verse 1] You passed me a note in class Said, "Meet me by the bike racks" Your laugh had a reckless shine Like it knew we’d outrun time My shoes were too scuffed to care Your skirt caught the spring air We traded our future plans With ink on our fingertips [Pre-Chorus] If the world says, "Wait" We say, "Not today" Heart on the line We step anyway [Chorus] Run, run, paper hearts Burning in our hands Run, run, paper hearts We can still land Dreams in the dark We light our own path Run, run, paper hearts We were made to last [Verse 2] You said your dad wants a lawyer Mine said, "Son, keep your head lower" But we drew a stage in chalk On the cracked-up side of the block I wore your ring on a chain You wore my name like a flame We sold our fear for a song And danced where we didn’t belong [Pre-Chorus] If the doors close tight We climb the frame Two young hearts Making their name [Chorus] Run, run, paper hearts Burning in our hands Run, run, paper hearts We can still land Dreams in the dark We light our own path Run, run, paper hearts We were made to last [Bridge] When the floor shakes hard And the nights feel long Hold my sleeve We’ll stay strong If we fall apart We’ll start again Same wild dream Different end [Final Chorus] Run, run, paper hearts Burning in our hands Run, run, paper hearts We can still land Dreams in the dark We light our own path Run, run, paper hearts We were made to last Run, run, paper hearts Don’t let go tonight Run, run, paper hearts We’ll be all right
