Paper Airplane
Wistful Yearning: Flying Away on Paper Wings
Lyrics
I wish he could see
I desire that he could perceive
How beautiful he is to me
Expressing the beauty he holds in her eyes
I wish I could stay out of his way
Expressing a wish to not interfere with his life
But that's much too hard for me
Acknowledging the difficulty of staying distant
I wish we could fly away
Expressing a desire for escape together
On a paper airplane
Imagining escaping on a paper airplane
He tells me everything
He confides everything in her
Calls me his Martin Luther King
Referring to herself as his Martin Luther King, possibly emphasizing support
Says he's good at running far
Describing his ability to distance himself or avoid commitment
I tell him everything
She reciprocates by sharing everything with him
Call him by the wrong name
Humorously admitting to addressing him with the wrong name
Say I'm good at chasing stars
Claiming proficiency in pursuing ambitious goals, like chasing stars
I wish we could fly away
Reiterating the desire for a joint escape
On a paper airplane
Envisioning flying away together on a paper airplane
I wish we could fly away
Repetition of the longing for a shared flight
On a paper airplane
Reiteration of the desire to fly away together, emphasizing on a paper airplane
