lyrics

Paper boats
Seldom stay afloat
It seems
In these mercenary days
Everybody says goodbye
Why not make your own?
No more days alone
With a pair of scissors in her hand
She cuts herself a man

Ifs and buts
Worth the paper cuts
At night
But he's oh so delicate
Can't let him get wet or torn
Treat like a child newborn

Life is short
Like a passing thought
She knows
So she takes him everywhere
And life feels almost fair
To her

But he's in the dark
When her friends remark
He hides
But I guess it could be worse
In her paper purse
