Paper Substitute

[Verse 1] On tri-colors weigh down my eyes Waiting for the nothing I know All my seconds tick the wrong time Don't they know I'm waiting for you? [Chorus] What would you do with a paper smile to substitute? [Verse 2] One try, spin it in the low tide Say goodbye a moment too soon Each one tangled on a clothesline Holding tight, I'm waiting for you [Chorus] What would you do with a paper smile to substitute? [Bridge] All I know is I said too much Never said enough for you All my sins should be wired shut While I shake the dust off you [Verse 3] I'm right, battered in the dark fight Back into the dust where you bloom All my seconds tick the wrong time Don't they know I'm waiting for you? [Chorus] What would you do with a paper smile to substitute?
