Last night I could not sleep,
I thought about what you said to me,
How memories are hollow seeds
Planting paper window dreams.
And now I know just what that means,
Most things don't last and love can leave,
And if we hold on to these memories
Of broken bonds that could not be
Framed in paper window dreams.
I remember christmas eve
When I got sick and could not breathe,
Frosted windows and chattered teeth,
A helpless heart stuck on a sleeve
Framed in paper window dreams.
Everyone I've ever met
Has felt something I haven't yet:
A cause, a cure, a deep regret,
A face, a fear they can't forget.
And now I know just what that means,
Most things don't last and love can leave,
And if we hold on to these memories
Of broken bonds that could not be
Framed in paper window dreams.
