lyrics

I was born
In a paper boat
A simple sinking vessel
A single piece of paper
With crisp white creases

Water filled the quarter deck
Washed away my company
And with no one
Standing next to me
I became two different species

One that swam away
And one that looked for my crew mates
Off the upper deck
Off the starboard bow
Off some river's edge

You and I
We are brothers
Only you fell from the sky
From the ill-proportionate wingspan
Of your paper airplane
We've fallen off the same cliffs
We share the same blood
So let's drink until the morning
When we'll both feel insane

And we can swim away
Or we can look for our crew mates
Off the upper deck
Off the starboard bow
Off some river's edge

Sometimes mellow and bittersweet; a songbird at your window sill and at other times a thunderous full-throated roar of emotive stomping and hollering like a wild preacher of the end-times!
