Paper Plane

Guess you just left the question hang there
Suspended in mid air.
Then it comes down
In circles, like a paper plane
Till it stabs my heart again.

I’m not an easy jar to open.
You can break your wrist if you’ll try.
We can’t stop.
What strikes us both as comfortable
So we’ll bend the truth to lie.

Remember, how it used to be
When we lived like darlings?
Remember how your envy cast a spell?

If this is more than you can burn
And there is no one left.
I have been to this town before as well.

You have got an easy charm about you.
You can hurt me if you choose.
Right or wrong
I was left with little, but surprise
And everything to lose.

Every second chance is gone
We used to shine like darlings.
Remember how your envy cast a spell?

If this is more than you can burn
And there is no one else.
I have been to this town before as well.

You think you are so strong.
An anchor hanging often leeward lying.
And a beautiful pine
Breaking as you are listing to one side.

You and me need to explain,
Just to pass the time.
Every little thing that we said.

... I have been to this town before as well.
