Here I go again tonight Floating back in time to steer my life Laying out looking at the sky Just like a child with wild eyes Shining like the moon on fire Searching in the night For a way I could fly a paper airplane Paper airplane We do what we have to do Now I'm more careful than I was in my youth Drawing plans of big machines Where I used to keep my wildest dreams Painted on the side of the door Lately I don't put my faith anymore on airplanes Paper airplanes Paper airplanes Paper airplanes Here I go again tonight Drifting toward a way to steer my life Folding all the corners down Find a way to fly, feet on the ground Watching for the turn in the wind Waiting on the wings to lift me up again on an airplane Paper airplane Paper airplane Paper airplane On a paper airplane Paper airplane Paper airplane Paper airplane
