Paper Boats - Eamon McGrath

Never thought I’d say I’d want to run that old river

I was always trying to get away

Never thought you’d say that that’s where you would bring her

Because that was where we went to escape

And on that crown we could only see each other

It was such a perfect hiding place

In the window of that car the light was just a cover

The sky would turn to night and fade away

Just to get off land we set up shop in the sand

I made a paper boat now down the river I float

Once we hit the water we both tried to swim together

We thought we’d both lose the tide

The rain came down blame it on the change of weather

We fucked up at least we tried

I curled up fit in to a piece of paper

Fold it over close my eyes and hide

Now you run off and I’ll catch up with you later

That way we won’t have to say goodbye
