1000 Paper Cranes Lyrics
I thought that you knew her
(I thought that you had heard)
I thought that you cared
But what am I to do
At four in the morning
With her back against us all?
Running out of run-arounds
Gently down the stream
How could you make me who I am
When I made you who you are?
I thought that you knew her
(I thought that you had heard)
I thought that you cared
But what am I to do
At four in the morning
With her back against us all?
Gently to the end with me
Rowing at your side
Through Denver's cold and frozen ice
I thought I saw, I thought I saw you standing there
I thought that you knew her
(I thought that you had heard)
I thought that you cared
But what am I to do
At four in the morning
With her back against us all?
Unclouded and clearly
Words work themselves back to me
Every time from the bottom, it's all the same
"It's all the same!", she screamed
She screamed, "it's all the same"
(Yeah!)
I thought that you knew her
(I thought that you had heard)
I thought that you cared
But what am I to do
At four in the morning
With her back against us all?
(I thought that you had heard)
I thought that you cared
But what am I to do
At four in the morning
With her back against us all?
Gently down the stream
How could you make me who I am
When I made you who you are?
(I thought that you had heard)
I thought that you cared
But what am I to do
At four in the morning
With her back against us all?
Rowing at your side
Through Denver's cold and frozen ice
I thought I saw, I thought I saw you standing there
(I thought that you had heard)
I thought that you cared
But what am I to do
At four in the morning
With her back against us all?
Words work themselves back to me
Every time from the bottom, it's all the same
"It's all the same!", she screamed
She screamed, "it's all the same"
(Yeah!)
(I thought that you had heard)
I thought that you cared
But what am I to do
At four in the morning
With her back against us all?

There's a Japanese legend that says if you fold 1000 paper cranes (senzaburu) the gods will grant you a wish.
correct :) i was wondering if anyone had pointed this out. kudos to you

To Manorexic: Isn't the legend that it'll save your life? Or something =\
I absolutely love this song and wish it was released on something other than their Kids For America EP... but yes, 1000 Paper Cranes portrays to a story I believe in which a girl folds some cranes and is granted a wish and it went on to become a...myth... or legend... Check this link if you want more info...
