[Verse 1] Your name on my wristband Red drink in your hand We met by the ice chest With sand in our shoes You smiled like a dare And I followed you there Past the boardwalk games And the loud DJ news [Pre-Chorus] Now the heat won't quit And my heart won't sit still Every little look Turns the world into gold [Chorus] Paper sun, you shine on me Paper sun, you set me free We run too fast We burn too bright But baby, that's the way We stay alive Paper sun, paper sun You and I, we come undone [Verse 2] Mom said I should slow down Friends said you'll slip away But you held my hand Like you meant to stay And the thunder rolled in From the edge of July We laughed through the rain With our shirts pulled tight [Pre-Chorus] Now the heat won't quit And my heart won't sit still Every little look Turns the world into gold [Chorus] Paper sun, you shine on me Paper sun, you set me free We run too fast We burn too bright But baby, that's the way We stay alive Paper sun, paper sun You and I, we come undone [Bridge] If the season changes If the sky turns gray I know your hands Will find my name And if they call it reckless Let 'em call it that We make our own summer And we don't look back [Chorus] Paper sun, you shine on me Paper sun, you set me free We run too fast We burn too bright But baby, that's the way We stay alive Paper sun, paper sun You and I, we come undone
