Paper Wings Lyrics

Artist: Rise Against
Album: Siren Song of the Counter-Culture

One last thing I beg you please, just before you go
I've watched you fly on paper wings half way round the world
until they burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down
Landing somewhere far from here with no one else around
To catch you falling down
And I'm looking at you now

I can't tell if you're laughing
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
There's a train leaving town in an hour
It's not waiting for you and neither am I

Swing for the fences son, he must have told you once
That was a conversation you took nothing from so
Raise your glass now and celebrate exactly what you've done
Just put off another day of knowing where you're from
You can catch up with yourself
if you run

I can't tell if you're laughing
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
There's a train leaving town in an hour
Its not waiting for you and neither am I

Is this the life that you lead?
Or the life that's lead for you?
Will you take the road thats been laid out before you
Will we cross paths somewhere else tonight?
Somewhere else tonight...

I cant tell if you're laughing
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
There's a train leaving town in an hour
It's not waiting for you and neither am I

I cant tell if you're laughing
Between each smile theres a tear in your eye
Theres a train leaving town in an hour
Its not waiting for you and neither am I
