Paper Bird Lyrics by Gretchen (gmusicc)

2023

[Intro]
Yah
(But you say that your sad, sad, sad)

[Verse 1]
Soon as you reach a city limit
Well right there's your limit
Paper birds
You wanna fly away
But there's a future
Where there ain't no blood on the door
It's you that you sacrificed
Traded wings for a temporary
Piece of mind
And I've been feeling with ease
You just sat there and cop your steez
Like you got more
Where that came from
They didn't even say please
That's the kind that you stray from
Kinda can't even say some
Kinda turns 'round the knife
To switch the role that you played for
Just to sooth the story and their mind
Ugh
That they made up over a period of time
And your true narrative is something
That they didn't like
So it was too imperative
To plot all of your demise
Ugh
Look in my eyes
Look in me
Let me tell you something
It's not like it's permanent
It's something you can alter
You want paper when this started
You were made a prosper
Now it's time to cut the [?]
That you locked up

[Chorus]
What does it mean
When I feel this free
Had on the side of what I see
Right now
'Cause it's clearer now
Oo
What do you mean
By this isn't real life
'Cause I love the sights I see
Right now
Ya
See right now
There's no paper birds around

[Verse 2]
Extra, Extra
Read all about it
Ugh
I see you question and pestering
Tryna talk your way out it
And once suggested
Since I figured your mind
Is pretty clouded
If you don't move the way you talk
Your shows will never be crowded
You'll never be something your proud of
With a heart like that
Don't even know if you got one
Ain't that shit so sad
You love control
And you only love it your way
Ugh
Now there's a hole in my heart
For where you used to stay
Yah, I've been too nice (nice)
That's what everybody thinks
I always try to keep the peace
But now that's down the sink
You hear a story
And go tell it as your own
And that's a slap in the face
For the people's stories you told
And the peoples stories you stole
To get some pity attention
Ugh
I watch it happen
Everything that I mention
Ya
I'm bigger
Taller
Realer then I used to be
Now I know what matters
The company that you keep, boy

[Bridge]
Wow
Look what I found
I don't feel the same way now
Thought I'd keep it buried underground
Now I'm digging all the pennies out
Ah
Watch what I do
I can make a laugh from a few
Take a dollar
Turn it into two
[?]

[Chorus]
What does it mean
When I feel this free
Had on the side of what I see
Right now
'Cause it's clearer now
Oo
What do you mean
By this isn't real life
'Cause I love the sights I see
Right now
Ya
See right now
There's no paper birds around

[Outro]
Paper bird
Paper bird
What's the word
What's the word
Tryna take the weight off
(Weight off, ya)
So I can go and take off
(Take off, ya)
Paper bird
Paper bird
(Paper Bird)
So what's the word
What's the word
Ugh
Tryna take the weight off
(Weight off)
So I can go and take off
