lyrics

Now give me your hand in waiting I stand alone
As we sat along roads skipping stones while the radio played
What you thought was a raincloud honey’s just a change of the scenery.
Make me uneasy, tell me you’re leaving

You’re shell shocked from sunlight it seems and you don’t look in mirrors
Skinny as a ghost and your bones are only getting thinner
We used to shake hands with the future, we used to make use of it all, use of it all
But in passing we missed the moon and landed
Like a paper doll

I wish that I lived in Nebraska among the plains
I’d write on the backs of postcards so my parents know I’m ok
I don’t know where you find yourself now but I hope that you’ve changed
Because I sure as hell have and I’m worried we won’t find our train of focus again

Caught in a gimbal, the missed signal, I was not afraid
We drove through the city at night until we were stopped by the chains
At the end of the road we weren’t sure where to go so we could stall
You were drenched by the thought of it, wrinkled like a paper doll

Yeah Jackson Pollock painted your hair while you stood in the catacombs
While shadows danced against the wall so you could perceive
We waited for you to breathe and stood in shock, when you came out of there all alone
And I cried out you were skinny as a paper doll

I wish I could send a letter before the pony express
So that I couldn’t be sure you’d get it before a bandit
And all I remembered and all that I’d hope to address
Would lay in a puddle, wrinkled and abandoned
Like a paper doll

Hey when we’re alone,
Yeah the rain kept a-fallin,
The rain kept a-fallin, on my guitar
Give me your shoulder
The rain bore a hole in ya,
Danced in the storm like a paper doll
Like a paper doll
Like paper
