Paper and Ink Lyrics
Dress warm, the summer's gone
These walls exhausted
This swim I take
I may need a rescue
Triumphant
Shimmering signals cry
And this water is so cold
Blend like paper and ink
My hero sighs
Sleep tight, it's not over
I'll shield you from harm
I'll spare you tonight
Yeah, now I feel invincible
Throw your cards down and test me
Start over, slow dancing
In this world based on standards in fire
Unclothed by dawn
I feel my arms, they weaken
Loud and clear you telegram my station
Connection
As darkness fills the sky
And these stories they unfold
Yeah, now I feel invincible
I'm throwing daggers at bull's eyes
My instinct's the warning
In this world based on standards in fire
You'll be the one there waiting
Your first touch will cure this open sore
My last dance in the streets I've played in
Head verse my heart
I walk through this night alone
Walls stand, built to be broken
Sit tight and absorb this rocket ride
Fall short from the hand I lay in
No turning back, this road is far from home
These walls exhausted
This swim I take
I may need a rescue
Triumphant
Shimmering signals cry
And this water is so cold
My hero sighs
Sleep tight, it's not over
I'll shield you from harm
I'll spare you tonight
Throw your cards down and test me
Start over, slow dancing
In this world based on standards in fire
I feel my arms, they weaken
Loud and clear you telegram my station
Connection
As darkness fills the sky
And these stories they unfold
I'm throwing daggers at bull's eyes
My instinct's the warning
In this world based on standards in fire
Your first touch will cure this open sore
My last dance in the streets I've played in
Head verse my heart
I walk through this night alone
Walls stand, built to be broken
Sit tight and absorb this rocket ride
Fall short from the hand I lay in
No turning back, this road is far from home

dang son why are there so few comments on all their songs?? they're quite an awesome band. not one youd expect coming from hawaii. well i think this song is about his feelings towards this girl whom he loves but she keeps hurting him over and over again. but she keeps coming back to him and he tries to keep her out, because hes hurt, but he eventually takes her back cuz he loves her stupidly. this explains the 'walls stand, built to be broken' and all the other references to walls. and then in some other parts of the song hes expressing how he feels whenever she hurt him, and he built a wall up against her, he thinks hell be able to resist her and hes telling himself that he can, he doesnt need her, and that hes 'invincible' ok so maybe an easier way to explain this all was to say its about him building walls to seperate himself from this girl who keeps hurting him, and hes determined to keep her out, he feels invincible. there we go. whew
