lyrics

I danced around, you laughed a lot
The pages turned, they would not stop
Wrapped up in my sheets
We played our games ‘till long past three o’clock
I was paper, you were rock

But soon our games were less carefree
The rock of ages weighed on me
Dulling your edge
My heart grew heavier with time
And yours did not
You were scissors, I was rock

Floating down my life
Looking for my other half
I was your paper sailboat
With my sail at half-mast

I tried to paint within the lines
But I bled though a thousand times
You were sharpening your edge
I was running out of luck
Scattered pieces, all cut up

The last time we played I did not look
Something deep inside me shook
I was sinking to the bottom
You were floating to the top
You were paper, I was rock
