Paperweight Lyrics by Michael Bihovsky

2021

[Verse 1]
Walk with me, my love
Beside a stream I’ve known for ages
It flows the way it always has
It’s we who seem to change
Walk with me, my friend
Beyond the trees, beyond this bitter end
But if we two could touch
Would you still want to?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You’re as fragile as me now
When ghosts are made of glass
So what will it be now?
If our moment wasn’t meant to last?
Is disease the wall that keeps you
Six feet from my heart?
Or is it something more?
We used to be something more

[Chorus 1]
Time has always flown
But we have never seen it frozen
It’s passing as it’s stolen by
The stream we dream behind
And when we reach the other side
Still paperweight, still petrified
Will I remain alone and still infected?

[Verse 2]
Time and time again
I’ve said I’ve known you for forever
Forever’s not that long
For those who hide themselves away
But if we can be strong
We might just find our way together
And then I’d find the words to make you stay

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, I hope you can see now
The dark will turn to day
If you hold onto me now
You might not ever slip away
The virus takes its hold
And those who live might not survive
We’re still playing with our lives
(But if you kissed me I could die)

[Chorus 2]
Time has always flown
But we have never seen it frozen
It’s passing as it’s stolen by
The stream we dream behind
And when we reach the other side
Still paperweight, still petrified
Will I remain alone and still infected?

[Chorus 3]
There’s nothing left to lose
But somehow more can still be taken
I’m scared that when I waken
You’ll be lost, and then you’ll hide
And when we reach the other side
Still paperweight, still petrified
Will I remain alone and still infected?

[Outro]
To reach, to want, to yearn
But when the world returns
I alone
Remain
Infected
