Paper Towns Lyrics by Wasteland

2019

[Verse 1]
All the stacks of time that we spent
Could not buy us one regret, no
I was living on a high road, I know
You were livin' on a high
Only six months down the neon track
We were far too ignorant, so
I was livin' in the lie though, I know
Wasn't ready for goodbye
[PreChorus]
We were nomads stuck in no-man's
Fighting wars with empty guns
A secret romance is how they sold it
But I never bought it once
I been drivin' round in circles
I been burnin' myself out
Tired of feelin' like a ghost
Even when you're around
[Chorus]
Drownin'
In a sea of regret
I thought I lost you
But I just lost myself
In these paper towns
With it our silhouettes
We can burn 'em down
We can burn 'em down
In these paper towns
In these paper towns
[Verse 2]
I know your hands were tied, we tried to smile
Five-star selves, we're home for now
You were livin' in the clouds, in the clouds love
And I was buried underground
We used to think we knew what love's about (love's about)
Until you climbed so high that the limelight washed us out
[PreChorus]
We were nomads stuck in no-man's
Fighting wars with empty guns
A secret romance is how they sold it
But I never bought it once
I been drivin' round in circles
I been burnin' myself out
Tired of feelin' like a ghost
Even when you're around
[Chorus]
Drownin'
In a sea of regret
I thought I lost you
But I just lost myself
In these paper towns
With it our silhouettes
We can burn 'em down
We can burn 'em down
[Bridge]
We won't let them hold us down
We won't let them hold us down
We won't let them hold us down
In these paper towns
We won't let them hold us down
No, we won't let them hold us down
We won't let them hold us down
In these paper towns
In these paper towns
In these paper towns
We won't let them hold us down
We won't let them hold us down
We won't let them hold us down
In these paper towns
No, we won't let them hold us down
No, we won't let them hold us down
No, we won't let them hold us down
In these paper towns
No, we won't let them hold us down
We won't let them hold us down
We won't let them hold us down
These paper towns
