about

Paper Boats had a big remaster and clean up before being included in the music video, utilising new mixing skills and software. This is the new and improved version, if you fancy it.

lyrics

When I first set sail I left some soul behind
Your echoes in my gut tugged back at me like ebbing tides
But for every step I took a whisper left your lips
“She’s gone, alone, she is no longer one of us we feel”

And so the spark will wash away
It floats away and gently fades
It floats away, away away in paper boats
The tide will say I wash away
I’ll take away it floats away
I’ll wash away, away away these paper boats.

I loaded paper boats with words and hope
Sent parts of me across the sea in paper boats.
But for every scribble made your heart to others spoke
And said “she hasn't come, her words are false, they will not float.”

And so the spark will wash away
It floats away and gently fades
It floats away, away, away in paper boats
The tide will say I wash away
I’ll take away it floats away
I’ll wash away, away, away these paper boats.

These words inside my mind
They won’t take me home
You won’t wash away
The ink on my hands

Everything I was was ordinary
And everything I dreamed was in clichés
Everything I am is not enough
For you are all unique and I am same
Everything I found was beyond words
So nothing that I learned could be conveyed
Unless I poured it out on paper boats
And paper boats disintegrate.

And so your spark will wash away
It floats away and gently fades
It floats away, away, away in paper boats
The tide will say I wash away
I’ll take away these words you say
But my heart won’t give away these words in paper boats.

These words in paper boats
(Folded with care)
They won’t take me home
(Lost at sea)
You won’t wash away
(You never saw)
The ink on my hands
On the tide on the tide my dreams

Repeat chorus 3

You won’t wash away
The ink on my hands
On the tide on the tide my dreams
