Lyrics
He folds paper planes on the carpet
Ink on his fingers blue and gray
Names in the creases he never calls
Lets them pile up by the window all day
Lonely boy in a quiet house
Talking to the dust and the ceiling now
Wishing someone knew his name
So he sends up paper prayers paper pain
Lonely boy watching shadows crawl
Hears his heart in the empty hall
If they ask he'll say he's fine
But he's fading at the edges of his mind
Dinner for one at a table of four
He counts every scrape of the chair
Laughs at a joke he made weeks ago
Just to prove there's a voice in the air
Lonely boy in a quiet house
Talking to the dust and the ceiling now
Wishing someone knew his name
So he sends up paper prayers paper pain
Lonely boy watching shadows crawl
Hears his heart in the empty hall
If they ask he'll say he's fine
But he's fading at the edges of his mind
One day he'll walk out the front door
Leave all the folded wings on the floor
But tonight he just stares at the sky
Whispers if you see me send a sign
Lonely boy in a quiet house
Talking to the dust and the ceiling now
Wishing someone knew his name
So he sends up paper prayers paper pain
Lonely boy if you hear this song
Hold on hold out stay strong
You're not wrong for wanting more
Beyond the window beyond the door
