Paper Bag

Anna Nalick · Wreck Of The Day (Expanded Edition) [2006]

She don't run from the sun no more

She boxed her shadow and she won

Said I can see you laugh through these bottle caps

And this wire around my neck ain't there for fun

But someday we'll all be old

And I'll be so damn beautiful



[Chorus]

Meanwhile, I'll hide my head

Here in this paper bag

'Cause if I can't see you then you can't see me

And it'll be okay

Fly little bee away

To where there's no more rain and I can be me



Yeah, they talk about her

She smiles like she's so tough

She says, hey, can you talk a little louder

I don't think my heart is broken enough

But someday we'll all be old

And I'll be so damn beautiful



[Chorus]

Meanwhile, I'll hide my head

Here in this paper bag

'Cause if I can't see you then you can't see me

And it'll be okay

Fly little bee away

To where there's no more rain and I can be me



Some days I wade in the indigo

Singing that song on the radio

I blame these puddles on the rain

You know I gotta keep these cheeks dry today

Gotta keep my cheating strategy

And, baby, I'm gonna have it made



But someday we'll all be old

And I'll be so damn beautiful



[Chorus]

So I'll hide my head

Here in this paper bag

'Cause if I can't see you then you can't see me

And it'll be okay

Fly little bee away

To where there's no more rain and I can be me, yeah



Hide my head

Paper bag

If I can't see you then you



[Chorus]

And I'll hide my head

Here in this paper bag

'Cause if I can't see you then you can't see me

And it'll be okay

Fly little bee away

To where there's no more rain and I can be me

Where I can be me, yeah

I can be me



It'll be okay

Fly little bee away

Where there's no more rain and I

Where I can be me
