We Built a Paper Boat

Abu Sayed presents the official lyrics for his original song ‘We Built a Paper Boat’.

I trace the shoreline of your collarbone
The sweetest kind of magic I have known
We folded up the pieces of the past
To make this fragile beauty really last
The embers fade into a perfect glow
You pull me close and take it nice and slow
I feel the quiet secrets on your skin
This is exactly where the night begins
Every breath is heavy, sweet and warm
We are a shelter hiding from the storm
Looking in your eyes, I feel the pull
The empty spaces suddenly are full
We built a paper boat to sail away
Far beyond the limits of the day
Floating on a river made of fire
Burning in the heat of our desire
Drifting with you, lost inside the tide
Nowhere else I’d ever want to hide
The silence settles like a gentle breeze
You bring my racing heartbeat to its knees
Tangled in the shadows, soft and deep
A sacred kind of promise we can keep
Every breath is heavy, sweet and warm
We are a shelter hiding from the storm
Looking in your eyes, I feel the pull
The empty spaces suddenly are full
We built a paper boat to sail away
Far beyond the limits of the day
Floating on a river made of fire
Burning in the heat of our desire
Drifting with you, lost inside the tide
Nowhere else I’d ever want to hide
The water rises as we let it go
And everything around us starts to slow
I pull you closer, deeper in the night
And bathe you in this warm and fading light
You know that Sayed will never let you fall
I am answering your quiet call
There is no compass for the way I feel
But with you, every single wave is real
We built a paper boat to sail away
Far beyond the limits of the day
Floating on a river made of fire
Burning in the heat of our desire
