Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Run away from paper people with me
We can run away from this paper town together
Forever, you and me
[Pre-chorus]
Boy, we gotta run, run, run
Up, up and away
Come on, we can hide
In this dark alleyway
[Chorus]
Everything I know is fake
I see it all now
The world I've been living in is paper thin
We've been living in paper towns
[Verse 2]
I'm on the verge of a meltdown
Gotta leave before sundown
That's when it hit me like a triple crown
This paper town
Is all I've ever known...
[Pre-chorus]
Boy, we gotta run, run, run
Up, up and away
Come on, we can hide
In this dark alleyway
[Chorus]
Everything I know is fake
I see it all now
The world I've been living in is paper thin
We've been living in paper towns
[Bridge]
We got to get away
From this town
Away from paper people's frown
Paper people are the ones who scare us
We got to get away
[Chorus]
Everything I know is fake
I see it all now
The world I've been living in is paper thin
We've been living in paper towns
[Outro]
Paper towns
Paper towns
Paper towns
Paper towns
