Paper Skin (Version 2)

Verse

Grey rain on the windowpane

Watercolor blur of a name

Your coat still smells like the night we kept

I fold it in, keep what won't sleep

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I was never meant to hold

Just this ghost of a shape that unfolds

Chorus

Paper skin against mine

Fades fast but feels divine

I'll keep the edges, let the rest go slow

Paper skin, let it float and glow

Verse

Bus stop light through the rain-spattered glass

Your voice on voicemail, soft as a past

I save every silence like I used to save every song

Now they just fill the same quiet space

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I was never meant to hold

Just this ghost of a shape that unfolds

Chorus

Paper skin against mine

Fades fast but feels divine

I'll keep the edges, let the rest go slow

Paper skin, let it float and glow

Bridge

Someday this folder will turn to dust

But I won't throw what's left in one swift trust

I'll hold it open like a lantern turned down low

Chorus

Paper skin against mine

Fades fast but feels divine

I'll keep the edges, let the rest go slow

Paper skin, let it float and glow
