Paper Hope
Chasing Dreams in Paper Skies: Troy Cartwright's Unforgettable Melody
Lyrics
Hey darlin' I've waited all night for you
Expressing eagerness and anticipation after waiting for someone all night.
Yeah, I'd do it again too
Reflecting on a past action and indicating a willingness to repeat it.
Do you wanna come over? Well yes, you do
Confirming the desire of the other person to come over.
I can't stop, I can't help myself with you
Admitting inability to resist or control oneself in the presence of the other person.
So I find myself, just a wasting time
Feeling a sense of idleness or unproductivity.
Ridin' on some paper hope, cross the skies
Metaphorically riding on uncertain or fragile hopes, perhaps in a relationship.
What are we doin' here
Pondering the purpose or reason for being in a particular situation or relationship.
I don't wanna lose you
Expressing a fear of losing the other person.
I don't wanna lose you
Reiterating the fear of losing the other person for emphasis.
Hey darlin' I've been dreamin'
Continuing to express longing or yearning for the person.
All night for you
Emphasizing the duration of the longing throughout the night.
If you call me up, I'll tell the truth
Committing to honesty if called upon.
Do you think you could stay up late
Asking if the other person can stay awake for a late conversation.
I'm out here barrelin' down the interstate
Describing a high-speed journey down the interstate, possibly symbolic of urgency.
So I find myself, just a wasting time
Repeating the feeling of wasting time, suggesting a sense of aimlessness.
Ridin' on some paper hope, cross the skies
Continuing the metaphor of riding on uncertain hopes across the skies.
Do you wanna try again?
Asking if there is a willingness to try again in the relationship.
Do you wanna make amends?
Inquiring about the possibility of making amends in the relationship.
Do you wanna be my friend?
Possibly expressing a desire for friendship as a foundation for the relationship.
I've got so much left to show
Stating there is much more to reveal or share.
I don't know how much you know
Expressing uncertainty about the other person's level of knowledge.
Do you think about my heart
Asking if the other person thinks about the speaker's heart.
Out here tearing' it apart?
Suggesting that the speaker's heart is being torn apart.
How many chances have I blown?
Reflecting on missed opportunities or mistakes in the past.
I just need to get you on the phone
Expressing a strong need to communicate with the other person.
Hey darlin' now tell me where did you go
Questioning the whereabouts of the other person and expressing a sense of abandonment.
And why do you leave me all alone?
