Paper Walls

And here's my stop

Just drop me off and I'll walk

The last few hours of night

Missing sacred things I had to leave behind

To solo travel light

I suppose we'll see

Start again where we left off

I can't see how

We can ask the past to take us back

But it won't

We're too far gone now

Some other world, some other life

Some other place, some paradise

My fortress made of paper walls

And my defenses had to fall

Some other world, some other life

Some other place, some paradise

Somehow the years drove us apart

I never could protect your heart

Some other world, some other life

Some other place, some paradise

My fortress made of paper walls

And my defenses had to fall

Some other world, some other life

Some other place, some paradise

Somehow the years drove us apart

I never could protect your heart

Every word I say sounds worlds away

From where on Earth you've gone

A facade, it cracks

Like a plastic mask when we talk

Of moving on

I suppose we'll see

Start again where we left off

I can't say when

We can ask the past to take us back

But it won't

I'm not that girl I was then

Some other time, some other time

Some other world, some other life

Some other world, some other life

Some other place, some paradise

My fortress made of paper walls

And my defenses had to fall

Some other world, some other life

Some other place, some paradise

Somehow the years drove us apart

I never could protect your heart

Some other world, some other life

Some other place, some paradise

My fortress made of paper walls

And my defenses had to fall

Some other world, some other life

Some other place, some paradise

Somehow the years drove us apart

I never could protect your heart
