"Paperweight" lyrics

"Paperweight"

I blow with the wind
I swim with the tide
I go with the grain
I'm along for the ride
But when it comes to you
I can't float away
I'm a love letter
You're my paperweight
You're my paperweight

I want you to keep holding me down
Building this life in a little town
Trees so tall, roots in the ground
Thankful every day for what I found
I could go anywhere
But I want to stay
I'm a love letter
You're my paperweight

I've had some dreams
That didn't come true
You had your plans
Some of them fell through
When we ran out of money
And thought we couldn't be saved
But I'm a love letter
You're my paperweight
I'm a love letter
You're my paperweight

I want you to keep holding me down
Building this life in a little town
Trees so tall, roots in the ground
Thankful every day for what I found
I could go anywhere
But I want to stay
I'm a love letter
You're my paperweight

The heaviness that comes with you
It is the strength I hold onto
You're not a burden
You don't stand in my way
You're my paperweight

I want you to keep holding me down
Building this life in a little town
Trees so tall, roots in the ground
Thankful every day for what I found
I could go anywhere
But I want to stay
I'm a love letter
You're my paperweight
I'm a love letter
You're my paperweight

(Paperweight)
