Fortune Rain - Paper Town Lyrics

I drive past your house, but the lights aren't on
Funny how a place can feel so gone
I still see us there on your old front steps
Talking 'bout forever like it'd never end

But time moves fast when you're standing still
And promises fade like ink that spills
I try to go back, but the doors won't open
Guess some words are best left unspoken

We built a love like paper towns
It looked so real 'til the rain came down
Now all that's left is a street with your name
And a heart that still breaks the same
I fold the past into paper planes
But every flight just crashes in flames
Guess some good things aren't meant to be found
Like love in a paper town

I still wear the coat that you used to hate
Pockets full of change from our favorite place
I thought moving on would be black and white
But grayscale's all I see tonight

I walk past the bench where we carved our names
It's still right there, but it's not the same
The world moves on while I stand here hoping
That maybe one day, you'll walk back home and-

We built a love like paper towns
It looked so real 'til the rain came down
Now all that's left is a street with your name
And a heart that still breaks the same
I fold the past into paper planes
But every flight just crashes in flames
Guess some good things aren't meant to be found
Like love in a paper town

I trace the past like a map in my hands
But every road leads to where we began
I tell myself that it's better this way
But I still check the porch just in case

I drive past your house, but the lights aren't on
Guess some things fade when the past is gone
