Paperweight Lyrics by Smallpools

Ghost Town Road

2024

[Verse 1]
Counting the steps between the street lights
Trying to match them every time
Anything I can do to keep my head distracted from tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I'm walking further than I ever have
While you're in their car with your feet on the dash
We're saying sorry
There's no coming back
It's kinda twisted but I'm missing that

[Chorus]
It's a goddamn kinda thing
Saying things that you don't mean
When you know there's no turning back
It's a goddamn kinda thing
Letting go of everything
A paperweight right off of your back

[Post-Chorus]
Right off of your back
Right off of your back
It's kind of twisted but I'm missing that
It's like a paperweight right off of your back

[Verse 2]
It'd be a lie if I said I could fix this now
While you're back on your feet
And I'm upside down
Well I'm hopelessly hoping
The further I'm floating

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I'm walking further than I ever have
While you're in their car with your feet on the dash
We're saying sorry
There's no coming back
It's kinda twisted but I'm missing that

[Chorus]
It's a goddamn kinda thing
Saying things that you don't mean
When you know there's no turning back
It's a goddamn kinda thing
Letting go of everything
A paperweight right off of your back

[Post-Chorus]
Right off of your back
Right off of your back
It's kind of twisted but I'm missing that
It's like a paperweight right off of your back

[Bridge]
Shattered glass
Bottled up and fractured
Broken past
Beautiful disaster
One more wasted song
Washed out conversation
My head twisted off
No more desperation

[Chorus]
It's a goddamn kinda thing
Saying things that you don't mean
When you know there's no turning back
It's a goddamn kinda thing
Letting go of everything
A paperweight right off of your back

[Post-Chorus]
Right off of your back
Right off of your back
It's kind of twisted but I'm missing that
It's like a paperweight right off of your back
