Paper Plane

By Richard Sutton

Beautiful scene, sensitises me

This journey that's my life seems to fly

Like a paper plane

Just like a paper plane


Can only fly so far, fragile from the start

Moves up and down, in no straight line

Just like a paper plane

Life's a paper plane


It follows the wind, is it my friend?

Then suddenly it plants me on the edge

Half the time it just breaks me down

So let laughter form the other


Like a paper plane


Won't listen to my rules, never answers to my calls

This journey that's my life sharply turns

00:00 / 04:24

Like a paper plane, like a paper plane

Life's a paper plane


But then one day

I battled the rain, like I was made of rock!

And on that day, when I was going down

It raised me, right to the top........right to the top!


But it follows the wind, is it my friend?

Then suddenly stabs in my back again

Half the time it just breaks me down

So let love form the other


It drifts away so fast, losing moments to the past

This journey that's my life swiftly falls

Like a paper plane

Like a paper plane, like a paper plane

Like a paper plane
