Paper Walls
7:49 AM | Thursday, September 6, 2007
The album title Paper Walls comes from the song of the same name, which begins "Let's burn a hole so we can climb out of these paper walls in this empty house." It's a reference to the barriers that built up between the band members over the years and everyone's desire to tear down the obstacles and heal old scars.
"If you really love each other as much as we do, you want to knock those walls down and get back to the place where you enjoy being with each other and making music together," says Key. "The song is basically saying let’s get back out there and remember why this is important to us, why we love being on stage and why we love making records." - Amazon Music on Yellowcard's new album Paper Walls
Let's burn a hole so we can climb out
Of these paper walls and this empty house
Don't listen too close
The words are like guns
With bullets that fly and kill what you've won
Let's burn a hole so we can climb out
Of these paper walls and this empty house
Where the only thing that's real is
Visions we have of ten years ago
Of stars in the sky and us down below
With streets and East Coast lines,
We kept this scene alive
Here I am, still hold on to this dream we had
Won't let go of it
Hear me now, you will never be alone
Don't listen too close
The words are like guns
With bullets that fly and kill what you've won
Some love to hate and some tell you lies
So let's make a toast and kiss them goodbye
We'll kiss them all goodbye
Here I am, still hold on to this dream we had
Won't let go of it
Hear me now, you will never be alone
Here I stand, won't turn back again
Won't leave you, I know how hard it's been
Hear me now, you will never be alone
Let's take what hurts and write it all down
On these paper walls and this empty house
And when our ink runs out,
We'll burn into the ground
Here I am, still hold on to this dream we had
Won't let go of it
Hear me now, you will never be alone
Here I stand, won't turn back again
Won't leave you, I know how hard it's been
Hear me now, you will never be alone
