Paper and Stone

But for the time we fell in two
You'd be me, and I'd be you
One crust of bread could fit in our mouth
You'd breathe in, and I'd let it out

All our fingers made a fist
Nothing happened when we kissed
You gave me a reason and left it at that
I took your meaning 'til you wanted it back

Say who we are, paper and stone
Say who we are, stone and scissors
Say who we are, scissors and paper
Say who we are, paper and stone

Until the time we fell in two
When you were me, and I was you
Lights at night were hiding the moon
Brides of Christ were making a groom

But for the chains, we'd both go free
But for the waves, a quiet sea
Fickle friends learning to trust
But for the truth, it sounds close enough

Say who we are, paper and stone
Say who we are, stone and scissors
Say who we are, scissors and paper
Say who we are, paper and stone

Say something, say nothing
Like those perfect days that go on and on and on and on

There was a time we fell in two
I met myself, and so did you
Who was the sailor kissing the shore?
Who was the harness wearing a horse?

But for the tears, we're doing fine
But for the love, we'd lose our minds
Break a bone to set it right
Tap a vein to bleed it dry

Say who we are, paper and stone
Say who we are, stone and scissors
Say who we are, scissors and paper
Say who we are, paper and stone

Say who we are
Say who we are
Say who we are
Say who we are
Say who we are
Say who we are
