Paper Wings

Rise Against

1. One last thing I beg you please just before you go
   I've watched you fly on paper wings halfway round the world
   Until they burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down
   landed somewhere far from here with no one else around
   
   to catch you falling down
   and I'm looking at you now

R: And I can't tell if you're laughing
   between each smile there's a tear in your eye
   there's a train leaving town in an hour
   it's not waiting for you, and neither am I

2. "Swing for the fences son" he must have told you once
   that was a conversation you took nothing from
   so raise your glass now and celebrate exactly what you've done
   just put off another day of knowing where you're from

R: And I can't tell...

   Is this the life that you lead?
   or the life that's lead for you?
   will you take the road that's been laid out before you
   will we cross pathes somewhere else tonight? somewhere else...

R: And I can't tell...
