Yellow wings on rusted chain link fence
Autumn wind pays no respect
Ferris wheel stands frozen in its track
No tickets sold for the way back
Paper plane waits out the season
Grounded by a wooden reason
Folded sharp from yesterday's news
Tomorrow flies if you choose
Cotton candy dust on broken glass
Memories melt slow as molasses
Carousel horses miss their riders' weight
Park sleeps heavy behind the gate
Paper plane waits out the season
Grounded by a wooden reason
Folded sharp from yesterday's news
Tomorrow flies if you choose
Passenger once left an origami bird
Said son waits where the wild winds stirred
I drive circles where the midway glowed
Best routes known by the heavy load
Paper plane waits out the season
Grounded by a wooden reason
Folded sharp from yesterday's news
Tomorrow flies if you choose
Rain taps rhythm on the taxi roof
Childhood dreams are bulletproof
Creases hold the shape of flight
Even in the autumn light
Wipers sweep the grime away
Another shift, another day
But something lifts inside this chest
Put the engine to the test
Dawn cracks open steel grey sky
Paper wings begin to fly
Lifted by a gust of grace
Finding height in this sad place
Paper plane waits out the season
Grounded by a wooden reason
Folded sharp from yesterday's news
Tomorrow flies if you choose
Tomorrow flies if you choose
Wheels up now, no excuse
Meter drops, the run is done
Paper runway finds the sun
