Cassettes Won't Listen

Paper Float Lyrics



I guess the time is not right

When you feel the final shot strike

When the water begins to rush inside



We slowly sink with no surprise

As we sink with a darkened sky

And we barely had time to set it right



The storm is wrecking our paper float

So we tell our favorite jokes

We crack a smile and then our hands let go



We crack a smile and then our hands let go



We drift alone on the souls of a tiny float

Arms together, we try to roam singing

Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh



We crack a smile to let each other know

You know, I know



Up all night watching the paper sink

Will the captain put down his last drink

He'll crash the only ship with a ticket home



All passengers disappear

When the night fades and the clouds clear

I squint my eyes and only see you smile



I squint my eyes and only see you smile



We drift alone on the souls of a tiny float

Arms together, we try to roam singing

ohhh ohh ohh ohh ohh



We crack a smile to let each other know



We drift alone on the souls of a tiny float

Arms together, we try to roam singing

Ohhh ohh ohh ohh ohh



We crack a smile to let each other know

You know, I know
