Cheers to me   Another late night sinkin' like a storm   The crowd is left and I'm all alone   And I saw a jet plane light up the night   And I jumped on its wing   And all of my troubles were left in my way   And I opened my eyes   And I'm in the same place      And I thought I was once a bird   Careless as the days rolled past   We live and learn   And now it seems I'm fallin' fast   Cause paper airplanes always seem to crash   And paper airplanes always seem to crash      Your children play in the courtyard   You set 'em free but they're not far   It's a shame that time just beats away   It steals their breaths and prepares their graves   And I saw a face on the train   Scared me to death and everything changed   A young man walks over to the grave   And soon he'll be dead   I'll be takin' his place      And I thought I was once a bird   Careless as the days rolled past   We live and learn   And now it seems I'm fallin' fast   Cause paper airplanes always seem to crash   And paper airplanes always seem to crash      Curious minds   We all seem to swindle our way back   And we run so fast   We're still tryin' to get there   We know you can      And I thought I was once a bird   Careless as the days rolled past   We live and learn   And now it seems I'm fallin' fast   Cause paper airplanes always seem to crash   And paper airplanes always seem to crash   And paper airplanes always seem to crash
