"Paper Ships" lyrics

Two lives as one
Divided by a common language
Words of silk and wire
How could we confuse
A simple truth between mouth and ear
Our aching hearts undone

Paper ships set sail on stormy seas
Ride the waves and bring you back to me

And you know, sometimes
The more we try, the greater knots we bind
All twisted up and tied
I thought we could find
Understanding way beyond our minds
Talk of a different kind

Paper ships set sail on stormy seas
Ride the waves and bring you back to me
Paper ships set sail on stormy seas
Ride the waves and bring you back to me

Do you think love's enough
To save the day?
Smooth over stormy seas
And calm the waves
Cos' you know sweet fortune only
Favours the brave
If we could trust the water
And ride the waves

Paper ships set sail on stormy seas
Ride the waves and bring you back to me
Paper ships set sail on stormy seas
Ride the waves and bring you back to me

Ride those waves and bring you back to me
Ride the waves and bring you back, bring you back
Oh ride all these waves and bring you back
Bring you back to me
Bring you back, bring you back to me
