Paper Home

Racoon

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...
