Paper Cage by Just Lions Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is a spot reserved
For thoughts that serve
No present purpose
And yet they surface at times
When the mind should be anywhere else

You belong on a page
A paper cage
Trapped there forever
A single endeavor derived
From what I have experienced

[Chorus]
Oh but you won’t let me be
You thief, you stole my thoughts, my soul, my sleep
And all I want is to write you down so that I might

Tuck you away
For some other time
[Verse 2]
This is the part I should know
By heart, it shows
My mind’s all cluttered
And my head flutters and floats
As my hopes make a fool of me

[Chorus]
Oh but you won’t let me be
You thief, you stole my thoughts, my soul, my sleep
And all I want is to write you down so that I might

Tuck you away
For some other time

[Verse]
This is a spot reserved
For thoughts that serve
No present purpose

And yet they surface at times
When the mind should be anywhere else
