Paper Home

I walk passed the phone

And I like to be alone,

And all on my own,

Inside my paper home

I wish I was good,

I wish I was beautiful to you

And that you understood,

That I'd fight a war for you,

If I should

You sit by the fire,

At least I imagine you do

L. Cohen sings Avalanche

I'm in a book, so are you

I wish you were here to run,

Laugh and cry with me,

Suddenly appear to love,

Live and die with me

Chorus:

In dreams I save you from harm

In dreams you always worship me

Like I've always worshipped you

In dreams we're together,

It's you and me that I see

I can always pretend

When I don't want to be alone

That you're back again,

Safe in our paper home

Things I've done wrong,

Countless in name and number

But pride feels no pain

So I run off to hide my shame

Chorus

Too bad it's just a dream

Maybe, never mind...
