All I wanted
Was to hold you
For you to need me
For all time
But all you needed
Was to find you
And you couldn't do it
In these arms of mine
The hardest thing for me to know
Is if I love you - I gotta let you go
Like a paper plane
Fold it up and watch it fly
All that's left
Is to smile and say goodbye
And hope that the winds that find you
Take you places that remind you
How close to being perfect we were
And you return
Like a paper plane
Like a paper plane
You were honest
You were reckless
You were beautiful
You were mine
But you were searching
And you were restless
You made no promise
And now were out of time
Like a paper plane
I fold it up and watch it fly
All that's left
Is to smile and say goodbye
Hope that the winds that find you
Take you places that remind you
How close to being perfect we were
And you return
Like a paper plane
Like a paper plane
All around the world
Then come flying back to me
Like a paper plane
