Lyrics Stand Atlantic – Paper Skin

Lie awake til the early AM
Wrapped up in all of the pages
Words you never said
And I’ve found that wishing for heaven

I’m falling asleep where you used to be

Your words still burn under my paper skin
Why did I let you in?
And your lips, they lie
To keep your heart disguised
Did you ever need mine?
Did you ever need mine?

I guess you had to rip through the ceiling
But the constellations, they look so rivet now
I guess it all worked out
When you sleep, the wind keeps you distant
But I’m sure you’re wrapped in the midst of a broken house
Can we slow this down?

You left with bricks and stones
From a heart that lost its soul
With just a node
I still keep close, but I should have kept closed

Your words still burn under my paper skin
Why did I let you in?
And your lips, they lie
To keep your heart disguised
Did you ever need mine?
Did you ever, ever?
Did you ever, ever?

Can I let go now?
Can I let go now?

And I’m falling asleep, where you used to be
Falling asleep, where you used to be

Can I let go now?
It’s so hard holding my breath
With an empty chest

Your words still burn under my paper skin
Why did I let you in?
And your lips, they lie
To keep your heart disguised
Did you ever need mine?
Did you ever, ever? (can I let go now?)
Did you ever, ever?
