Ari Carter - Paper Wings Lyrics

Fingers fumbling, escape velocity, folding paper wings
Snapping in the breeze, foolish piece of me, grinning feebly
As shadows set to ink, and pool beneath the trees, planted in the spring
Just a little piece this piece, this foolish piece of me

Trying hard to dress the part
Can't wait to see you
Can't wait to see you finally
Can't wait to see you
Can't wait to put your mind at ease

Hands a-clamoring, pushing through my leaves,
Make a ladder of my limbs, make a shadow of my grief
May this shadow be your shade, this little foolish piece of me
Someplace dry to watch the rain, where figs are quickening, no, they've never been so sweet
Just a little piece, this foolish piece of me

Trying hard to dress the part
Can't wait to see you
Can't wait to see you finally
Can't wait to see you
Can't wait to put your mind at ease
Can't wat to see you
Can't wait to feel you in the flesh
Can't wait to see you
Can't wait to lay this month to rest

Taking wing, what good's a memory if it can't carry me?
Taking wing, what goods a melody if it can't carry me?
Paper wings will bring me home, piece by piece
