[Verse 1] I kept your old letter In a blue tin box Under winter coats And a cracked music box The house was quiet The walls held their breath I touched that paper Like it was all I had left [Pre-Chorus] Then the rain moved on And the dark got thin A little crack of gold Slipped through the window in [Chorus] Paper lantern sky Paper lantern sky We were still alive (Still alive) Paper lantern sky Paper lantern sky Hope came back to life (Came back to life) [Verse 2] Your name on the kettle Steam on the glass Dust in the sunlight Making shadows pass I heard the doorframe Groan in the cold Then your laugh in my memory Warm and bold [Pre-Chorus] And the fear went quiet Like a crowd at dawn One small flame inside me Said, keep going on [Chorus] Paper lantern sky Paper lantern sky We were still alive (Still alive) Paper lantern sky Paper lantern sky Hope came back to life (Came back to life) [Bridge] If the road went empty If the night stayed long I would still remember How the light turns strong One step, one heartbeat One hand in mine We found the sunrise Before the sunrise [Final Chorus] Paper lantern sky Paper lantern sky We were still alive (Still alive) Paper lantern sky Paper lantern sky Hope came back to life (Came back to life) Paper lantern sky Paper lantern sky Hold me in that light (hold me in that light) Paper lantern sky Paper lantern sky I can see tonight (I can see tonight)
