Once I floated up a mountain stream
I was a vessel of uncertainty
Watched the day unfold in darker shades
Wild dreams lay by my side like paper cranes
The tempest winds had caught ahold of me
I was a shipwreck on her fragile beach
I was alone, in need of sympathy
She folds me up like origami
Oh you built me up
In origami love
It cast us into shapes
We couldn't hold them up
Don't you build me up
This origami love
Come close to me, I need to feel your heat
I've come unraveled like a tapestry
With all your melodies in minor keys
Your voice of cyanide and mercury
All the ways I try to change my shape
You weep like whispers in a garden maze
Two names caught up inside a paper tree
We're folded up like origami
Oh I built you up
In origami love
It cast us into shapes
We couldn't hold them up
Don't you build me up
This origami love
Don't you build me up
My origami love
Oh we built this up
In origami love
It cast us into shapes
We couldn't hold them up
Don't you build me up
Origami love
Don't you build me up
Origami
