[00:14.000]Well, me of all people should understand
[00:16.000]nothing you say’s ever personal.
[00:19.000]You think yourself an “untamable” man.
[00:21.000]What you really are is impossible to rely on.
[00:26.000]You land in fair weather then you fly on —
[00:33.000]not ‘cause you wanna be free,
[00:35.300]but ‘cause you don’t want me to see
[00:38.300]
[00:39.000]You’re a Paper Man, flying high as you can,
[00:50.000]always just out of reach from Reality’s hand.
[00:55.000]Can’t bear the weight — no, not a paper man.
[01:00.000]Can’t bear the weight, no…
[01:05.000]
[01:07.000]You talk the talk just ‘cause you like the sound
[01:10.000]of heavier things that you never did.
[01:12.000]Your honey eyes have a glimmer of doubt:
[01:15.000]The truth isn’t quite how you render it in the mirror…
[01:19.000]you turn on the steam so nobody sees you clearer.
[01:27.000]You’re so afraid to dig in,
[01:30.000]‘cause what if there’s nothing ‘neath the skin
[01:32.000]
[01:33.000]of a Paper Man, moving fast as you can.
[01:43.000]You Hear but don’t Listen, Know but don’t Understand.
[01:49.000]Can’t bear the weight — no, not a paper man.
[01:53.000]Can’t bear the weight, oh, no, not a paper man.
[02:02.000]
[02:03.000]I’m so glad you stopped by, Teacher in deep disguise.
[02:14.000]You’ve shown me exactly who I don’t wanna be.
[02:26.000]
[02:35.000]Paper Man, never know where you’ll land.
[02:46.000]Your every promise just words in the sand.
[02:51.000]Can’t bear no weight — no, not you, not you,
[02:56.000]not a Paper Man, moving fast as you can.
[03:07.000]You Hear but don’t Listen, Know but don’t Understand.
[03:12.000]Can’t bear the weight — no, not a, not a, not a Paper Man.
[03:17.000]Not a Paper Man, flying high as you can,
[03:28.000]always just out of reach from Reality’s hand.
[03:33.000]Can’t bear the weight — no, not a Paper Man.
