Lyrics:

Paper Wheels
(Anastasio/Marshall)
© Seven Below, Inc. (BMI)

silence is golden in just one one form, I’m gonna say it again
silence is golden in just one one form
often it's dark and it's rarely warm
break it you lengthen the list of your crimes
thinking is louder than speech sometimes
hoping the words you spoke won't matter
silence is gold but easily shattered

waiting to see what this reveals
here where the water meets the fields
beach after beach of sleeping seals
feel how the sunlight feels
trying to drive home on paper wheels

freedom is great but hard to achieve, I’m gonna say it again
freedom is great but hard to achieve
not to be told what we ought to believe
you look at me and say "time to move on"
one day I hold you the next you're gone
couldn't you just stay forever with me
freedom is great if you want to be free

waiting to see what this reveals
here where the water meets the fields
beach after beach of sleeping seals
feel how the sunlight feels
trying to drive home on paper wheels

and the sun has legs today
here in this concrete time
and we'll all speak French someday
and travel that long and crooked line
 
religion is cool but I like the old God, I’m gonna say it again
religion is cool but I like the old God
gone are the days of the staff and the rod
sometimes he's vague and can't really help
I feel like a seahorse adrift in the kelp
I pray for my friends who are out in the storm
religion's a blanket that can't keep me warm

waiting to see what this reveals
here where the water meets the fields
beach after beach of sleeping seals
feel how the sunlight feels
trying to drive home on paper wheels

and the sun has legs today
here in this concrete time
and we'll all speak French someday
and travel that long and crooked line

waiting to see what this reveals
