[Lyric] Paper Boats (Teddy Oliver)

I remember like yesterday
Eight months, eleven hours ago today
Feeling limbless in the wake of your face

The forecast had no chance of rain
But God drew his curtains and down it came
There was no use driving home in bad weather that late

I thought is this our moment, time, and place?
Or another wash, false start, a turning of page?
We were the poster kids for upping the stakes

We were the classic will they, won't they
Like a paper boat, aye mate?
We can only hope floats okay

If there's one thing I know today
Paper boats and paper rings
Break hearts like daydreams

I remember like yesterday
The goosebumps, butterflies, and buckling knees
Humming high to telephone ringings
You were keen on playing it safe
I loved surfing my infrared waves
Toeing lines between brilliant and insane

We both had a knack for loose strings
Killing time and sitting pretty
Then falling away like golden leaves

We were the classic will they, won't they
Like a paper boat, aye mate?
We can only hope floats okay

If there's one thing I know today
Paper boats and paper rings
Break hearts like daydreams

Time sails on by, the days twist and bend
Borders of memory grow vignettes
We're an old photograph frayed at the edge
With gilded smiles, windows down
And heads tossed in laughter about how

We'll remember like yesterday
It was eight months, eleven hours ago today
