lyrics

It's lonely out on the sea / The wind gets cold but you keep going on
Floating, moving you're getting by / You're just coasting trying to survive

You stay afloat / You stay afloat

Chorus:
In the open waters it gets so deep
There's nothing to hold on / Nothing for miles to see
No anchor / No sail / We just coast / But we stay afloat
Even though we're paper boats

When it's stormy with raging tidal waves / You're moving so fast will you ever make it passed
The sinking feeling you're not sure / Wishing you were safe back at the shore

You stay afloat / You stay afloat

Chorus

Out here the stars are brighter / Out here everything looks smaller
Where we don't control which way the wind blows
We just stay afloat / Even though we're paper boats

Chorus

Yeah we stay afloat / Even though we're paper boats
