Paper Cuts Lyrics

When we were arm in arm

Walking across Rittenhouse

I couldn't find the words

I couldn't find a way

Now I get lost looking back

It's slow and sad like Hemingway

Honest smiles and burning hearts

And broken from the start

My fingers bleed but it's too late now to turn the page

I'll play, you'll smile

We'll pretend that we're alright

That we're more than what we seem

More than shadows on your street

Still taste the whiskey on your breath

Still see the sunrise in your room

I guess I always thought we'd make it through

But these paper cuts they'll heal

And these memories they'll grow cold

So if this is all we get

Maybe it's enough

My fingers bleed but it's too late now to turn the page

I'll play, you'll smile

We'll pretend that we're alright

That we're more than what we seem

More than shadows on your street

I wish that you were here with me and your clothes were scattered on the floor.

I wish that we were anything but in between a goodbye and the end.

When we were arm in arm

Walking across Rittenhouse

I couldn't find the words

I couldn't find a way
