Owl City lyrics : "Paper Tigers"

Well I've been huddled up alone

By the fire even though


I'm not exactly feeling cold


And I've been bundled up for days

Too confused to be amazed


At all the icy water in my veins


Why do I feel so alone?

Yeah I've been moving in and out


Of this old split-level house


And I'd just as soon burn the whole place down

'Cause I quit working lumberyards


To build a mansion out of cards


But I feel thin behind these paper walls

Why do I feel so alone?


'Cause the angriest bark is always worse than the bite


Like the ache in my chest that my heart didn't invite

But if the prettiest romance isn't perfectly right


That makes every love lost just a holiday every night


Well I've been painting through the night

In the ba!@&(t out of sight


Brushing paper tigers black and white


'Cause come tomorrow afternoon

I'll fill a helium balloon


And set them free into the baby blue sky


So they won't have to be alone

'Cause the angriest bark is always worse than the bite


Like the ache in my chest that my heart didn't invite


But if the prettiest romance isn't perfectly right

That makes every love lost just a holiday every night


But when I close these heavy lids after dark


Each sweet dream is a target

And all my shots are so consistently wide of the mark


'Cause the angriest bark is always worse than the bite


Like the ache in my chest that my heart didn't invite

But if the prettiest romance isn't perfectly right


That makes every love lost just a holiday every night


Just a holiday every night

Just a holiday every night


Just a holiday every night

Well I've been huddled up alone


By the fire even though

I'm not exactly feeling cold

But how my heartache hit the trail


When a paper tiger tail

Fluttered down, I guess I'll never know
