about

This is a remastered version of "Paper Box" from the '07 E.P. The lyrics are layered with meaning and the vocals are sprinkled lightly with sweet harmonies that blend well with the lilting guitar.

lyrics

I built myself a paper box to live inside of
And underneath the paper moon I hug my paper dolls
I draw smiles on their faces and I write all of their happy thoughts
And put them on my walls
I’m so happy with my paper family
I’m so happy, and everybody loves me
Here inside my paper box there is no room for angry thoughts
Unhappy tears are out of place upon a paper face
My heart’s made of papier-mâché and painted red
And taught to move with every kiss I give away
And taught to love this paper room
And I’m so happy with my paper family
I’m so happy and everybody loves, loves, loves me
The paper leaves are falling fast on my origami garden by the sea
Pieces of a life that’s passed
You were only ever real to me, to me
I built myself a paper box
