You feel like morning

"Paper Prayers" is a gentle acoustic pop track about the vulnerability of hope. It captures the feeling of sending your deepest wishes out into the universe, unsure if anyone is listening, but doing it anyway.

(Verse 1)
I’ve got a notebook full of scribbles under my bed
Things I couldn't say, so I wrote them down instead
Ink stains on my fingers, tears on the page
Trying to break out of this silent cage
I fold them up into tiny little planes
And fly them out the window into the rain

(Chorus)
These are my paper prayers
Caught on the wind, going nowhere
But maybe they’ll land in the palm of a hand
That can finally understand
I’m sending them up, I’m letting them go
To the sky above from the world below
Just paper prayers, fragile and thin
But that’s how the healing begins

(Verse 2)
I wrote one for forgiveness, I wrote one for the past
I wrote one for the moments that went by too fast
"Dear God, if you're reading, I’m sorry for the mess"
Is usually how I start every single address
It’s cheaper than therapy, safer than speech
Putting the secrets just out of my reach

(Chorus)
These are my paper prayers
Caught on the wind, going nowhere
But maybe they’ll land in the palm of a hand
That can finally understand
I’m sending them up, I’m letting them go
To the sky above from the world below
Just paper prayers, fragile and thin
But that’s how the healing begins

(Bridge)
Maybe the rain will wash the words away
And turn them into something new today
Maybe the ink will bleed into the ground
And grow a flower where no hope was found

(Chorus)
These are my paper prayers
Caught on the wind, going nowhere
But maybe they’ll land in the palm of a hand
That can finally understand
I’m sending them up, I’m letting them go
To the sky above from the world below
Just paper prayers, fragile and thin
But that’s how the healing begins

(Outro)
Fly away, fly away
Paper prayers on a rainy day
Fly away...
(Fade out with acoustic guitar picking)

Paper Prayers

"If The World Ends Tomorrow" is a melancholic yet witty acoustic folk ballad blending apocalyptic dread with tender romance and dark humor. A man, facing doomsday headlines, woos his love with ironic urgency: if the world might end, why not seize the night in intimate chaos? Through poetic verses, it contrasts cosmic collapse with personal warmth—burning skies, trembling hands, rooftop toasts—urging reckless love as the ultimate rebellion. Passenger-like storytelling meets Blunt-esque charm in bittersweet, lightly explicit intimacy.(see the generated image above)

Full Lyrics

Title: If The World Ends Tomorrow

[Intro]
The news keeps shouting “countdown’s near”
But I just pour another beer
The sky’s aflame, the moon looks shy
So hold me close before we die
We’ve watched the world spin out of tune
Now midnight tastes like sweet perfume

[Verse 1]
They say the sea’s gonna swallow Rome
And angels pack their bags for home
Some preacher counting down in vain
While streetlights hum a soft refrain
But here you stand in my old shirt
Grinning through the world’s last hurt
Your laugh could make the heavens wait
For one more round, for one last fate

[Verse 2]
You tease, “You panic way too soon”
I smile beneath a broken moon
You light a cigarette, confess
“The end could use a little mess”
And if the comets paint the sky
At least they saw your hazel eyes
So come on, babe, let go, let be
The end looks good on you and me

[Pre-Chorus]
All the clocks are drunk tonight
Ticking slow in borrowed light
Every echo, every sigh
Feels like laughter dressed to die

[Chorus]
If the world ends tomorrow, love me tonight
Let’s make the chaos feel gentle and right
If love’s the last thing the stars allow
Then let’s not wait — let’s start somehow

[Verse 3]
Your hair still smells like thunder rain
Your touch rewrites my every vein
You whisper things that sound like prayers
Half truth, half dare, half unawares
We kiss like thieves who stole the fire
Still drunk on hope, still full of wire
And if the lights don’t find their hue
At least the night belongs to you

[Bridge]
We’ll toast the stars with broken glass
Forgive the ghosts our hearts let pass
And if the sun forgets to rise
We’ll still have sparks in borrowed skies
We’ll dance on rooftops, lose our breath
Make love a protest song ’gainst death

[Verse 4]
Turn off the screen, come close to me
There’s still a world we’ve yet to see
Forget the floods, the greedy fight
Let’s build a heaven for one night
The sirens wail, the towers spin
But your smile’s where my faith begins
If this is it, then let it be
A small apocalypse for you and me

[Chorus Reprise]
If the world ends tomorrow, hold me tight
Let’s laugh at fate, it looks good tonight
If love’s the last sin we can follow
Then let’s not wait for some tomorrow

[Reprise]
The sky may crack, the ground may quake
But you’re still the best mistake I’ll make
Let’s fade like stars, let silence bloom
Two fools slow-dancing through the gloom

[Outro]
If the world ends tomorrow…
At least we lived tonight
