Paper Boats Lyrics

Cover art for Paper Boats lyrics by Nada Surf

i think this song is about someone who cannot tell his friends or generally his loved ones what is wrong with him. i'd say the narrator wants to get away (train=getting away) but realizes that he cannot escape his problems and reasons for his sadness. i think this song is about feeling alone because you cannot tell anyone about your problems..because they wouldn't understand. that's what i get out of the song.

Cause we're stuck in our own paths And that's the way it always lasts And I need something more from you.

everyone has his own problems and nothing is ever going to change that.

a song about friendships not being strong enough i think.
