Mattias - Paper Checks Lyrics

Playgrounds in the sun
The beams show no one
Children in the sand
The worlds in their hands
They chase for
Little taste or
Touch of their friends
They scrap, make amends
A wish to the stars
They just feel so far
Away
They stay and play
Yeah
I paid for my dues, it got me through
From the start
Cashing in paper checks
First of her kind
Makes you unwind
First love for just trying
Heart sets a drift
From the shore
You know
6 months a long time
For a kid with just time
A novel with an end
A sequel, never lends its own
Close the door
Yeah
I paid for my dues, it got me through
From the start
Cashing in paper checks
Yeah
To broken night scenes
Backyard night dreams
Revolve
Cashing in paper checks
17 now
A tab in my mouth
Is this who I am
The worlds in my hands
I chase for
Little taste or
I can write my own lines
Smiles that keep crying
Cheap trick wits that'll keep from shying astray
Todays the the day
Yeah
I paid for my dues, it got me through
From the start
Cashing in paper checks
Yeah
To broken night scenes
Backyard night dreams
Revolve
Cashing in paper checks
Yeah
I paid for my dues, it got me through
From the start
Cashing in paper checks
Yeah
To broken night scenes
Backyard night dreams
Revolve
Cashing in paper checks
Take it all
