I've been keeping you at bay for so long So long that your bow is already melting I know you wanted to sail the seas alone and clearly I ain't keeping you from sinking. Forgive my fingers for unfolding you In the hopes that I can shift your view. But the creases were already there that if I leave you, you'll fold back, you'll repair. So I am setting you free from my selfish hands Now drift away, conquer new lands! Let the tide take you, my beloved paper boat You won't need me, but if you do, just leave a note.

My Paper Boat
I've been keeping you at bay for so long So long that your bow is already melting I know you wanted to sail the seas alone and clearly I ain't keeping you from sinking. Forgive my fingers for unfolding you In the hopes that I can shift your view. But the creases were already there that if I leave you, you'll fold back, you'll repair. So I am setting you free from my selfish hands Now drift away, conquer new lands! Let the tide take you, my beloved paper boat You won't need me, but if you do, just leave a note.
