Paper City

from The Journey EP by Jonathan Atkins

/

lyrics

I'll build a little paper boat,
To sail the rivers we cry,
And I'll build a paper plane,
To take us away and high.

I'll build a forest of metal,
So no trees will ever fall down,
And if someone happens to ever cut through,
We'll at least hear its sound.

And in that world where nothing seems to real,
In my mind there can be perfection to everything,
So build upon my city, build upon me,
So I can stand up high.

Ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba,
Ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba,
Ba da ba ba ba,
Ba da ba ba ba.

Ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba,
Ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba,
Ba da ba ba ba,
Ba da ba ba ba.

I'll stack boxes 42 stories high,
And hope you like the ocean view,
'Cause I'd give you that perfect view,
I'd give it to you.

I'd build a town of cards,
And watch the communities come together.
I'd love to see it happen,
To watch the world become fair weather.

And in that world where nothing seems to real,
In my mind there can be perfection to everything,
So build upon my city, build upon me,
So I can stand up high.

Ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba,
Ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba,
Ba da ba ba ba,
Ba da ba ba ba.

Ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba,
Ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba,
Ba da ba ba ba,
Ba da ba ba ba.

about

Jonathan Atkins Mississauga, Ontario

"A singer-songwriter with a devastating ear for harmonies and a delicate touch with lyrics that slide perfectly into a horrid winter. There's a definite Celtic touch, but far sweeter than something like Mumford & Sons." - Andrew Fifield (Metro News)
