The porch light flickers like a lonely star
I strum a quiet rhythm on this old guitar
You walk across the floorboards in the dark
Leaving heavy footprints on my paper heart
A dusty road we left so far behind
Just faded lines that echo in my mind
The coffee cooling on the cedar wood
I'd give you all my tomorrows if I could
A silent gravity is pulling me in
I feel the shiver racing cross your skin
The midnight shadows blur the lines of right and wrong
This is exactly where we both belong
I’ve got a paper heart, easy to ignite
You hold the match under the rural night
A fragile promise painted in the dark
Just one spark could start my paper heart
Burn it down, pull me near
You're the only melody I want to hear
The highway hum is just a memory now
We made a quiet shelter, taking every vow
You wear my flannel shirt to beat the chill
Time slows down until it stands completely still
A silent gravity is pulling me in
I feel the shiver racing cross your skin
The midnight shadows blur the lines of right and wrong
This is exactly where we both belong
I’ve got a paper heart, easy to ignite
You hold the match under the rural night
A fragile promise painted in the dark
Just one spark could start my paper heart
Burn it down, pull me near
You're the only melody I want to hear
I carve the name Sayed into the cedar tree
Right next to yours for all eternity
You ask me where this winding river flows
It only leads to you, the one true thing I know
I fold my paper edges in your gentle hand
We've built a quiet kingdom in the silver sand
You are the fire I always wanted to find
So go ahead, let the embers fly
I’ve got a paper heart, easy to ignite
You hold the match under the rural night
A fragile promise painted in the dark
Just one spark could start my paper heart
I strum a quiet rhythm on this old guitar
You walk across the floorboards in the dark
Leaving heavy footprints on my paper heart
A dusty road we left so far behind
Just faded lines that echo in my mind
The coffee cooling on the cedar wood
I'd give you all my tomorrows if I could
A silent gravity is pulling me in
I feel the shiver racing cross your skin
The midnight shadows blur the lines of right and wrong
This is exactly where we both belong
I’ve got a paper heart, easy to ignite
You hold the match under the rural night
A fragile promise painted in the dark
Just one spark could start my paper heart
Burn it down, pull me near
You're the only melody I want to hear
The highway hum is just a memory now
