Paper Planes
Lucas & Steve Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're never looking back
We are the runaways
We fly, we fly free like a paper plane

I see them pointing their fingers
But we're never gonna do as we're told
We were painting by numbers
Chasing rainbows like we're looking for gold

Through the oceans
Through the desert
Cross the mountains
On a hundred fields of gold
We were born to be legends
But we chose to take the bigger road

We're never looking back
We are the runaways
We try, we try never to stay the same
When skies are turning black
We're dancing in the rain
We fly, we fly free like a paper plane

We fly, we fly free like a paper plane
We fly, we fly free like a paper plane

Dark clouds on the horizon
But have faith inside the back of your mind, yeah
We say goodbye to the ones we were
Then we leave all of our troubles behind

Through the oceans
Through the desert
Cross the mountains
On a hundred fields of gold
We were born to be legends
But we chose to take the bigger road

We're never looking back
We are the runaways
We try, we try never to stay the same
When skies are turning black
We're dancing in the rain
We fly, we fly free like a paper plane

We are the runaways

We fly, we fly free like a paper plane
We fly, we fly free like a paper plane




We are the runaways
We fly, we fly free like a paper plane
