I’ve started singing out 
New York didn’t feel so loud 
This time, the autumn paints the sky 
Moved into an empty home 
To fill with the love I’m owed
This time, there’s roses in the road 
 
But sometimes I get caught out 
Wondering where you are now 
And sometimes when I slow down 
I wonder who you are now 
 
I’m doing my best to love 
God know that I’ve tried to forgive 
But time has timing of its own 
So I put on a party dress 
To get over the words you said 
To keep me in chains I’ve learned to break 
 
But sometimes I get caught out 
Wondering where you are now 
And sometimes when I slow down 
I wonder who you are now 
 
My head is willing to lie to me
Colours in my memory
Whenever I get lonely 
But now I’m childish like I should be
Colours that I now see
I’ll keep them close around me 
I’m childish like I should be

Party Dress

He asked me, “What are you thinking about?”, and I said, “Paper planes.”

And we took that little thought and sent my grey state of mind flying, powered by a colorful world of his, making mine a little lighter. In rhymes and little melodies that evolved with every hit of a Whatsapp “Send”, little pieces and shards recorded just in our phones’ voice memos, we pretty much put together the whole song before ever actually talking. We did call and talk later – to be excited about the song, together.

Paper Planes is, therefore, both grey and colorful, kind of mellow, but full of hope – it’s a song about one being there for the other. Even if there is sadness, even if one is drowning and unreachable, the song carries a message of enduring, apart and together, with hope and a promise of sending “paper planes” to remind them they aren’t, and won’t be, alone even if they feel lost.

Paper Planes lyrics:

If you stand in the grey, can I pull you towards the color
If seasons start to change, will I lose you to the dark
If paper planes of yesterday fill out all that’s hollow
Do they leave what’s written on them
Printed on the clouds tomorrow

So if I lose you to the dark
Will I find you come the dawn
I’ll keep throwing paper planes 
At the side of life that’s grey
In hopes that you send one back from there someday
Hmmm

If I stand in the grey, would you pull me towards the color
As seasons start to change, I may get lost to the dark 
My mind stayed in yesterday, the truth too hard to swallow
Should’ve left memories alone
Now I can’t find tomorrow

And if I wander into the dark
Will you turn the light on somehow
Will you throw more paper planes
Until one brings back my name
I hope that I will do the same for you someday
Aaaah

So if I lose you to the dark
Will you turn the light on somehow
And I’ll keep throwing paper planes 
Until one brings back my name
In hopes that you will send one back from there
I hope I’ll do the same for you
Please, do send one back from there
Someday 

If you stand in the grey, can I pull you towards the color

Paper Planes

Paper Planes [&Tilly x Patrick Sampson]

At a Cost is about that last day before the other one moves out — the crushing, silent tears of an ending that couldn’t be prevented, the trying to make it lighter for the other person’s sake. And the parallel of traveling to new countries without a map, without directions… it might end up a catastrophe, and there’ll definitely be some homesickness, but ultimately, it’s an adventure. A new life, at the cost of the old one that was no longer sustainable. 

A huge thanks goes to Stefano De Stefano/An Early Bird to be the one initiating the creation of this song, and being a huge part of the songwriting as well as the one playing the guitar.

At a Cost lyrics:

It’s the last day we have together
Don’t be sad or take it bad, let’s talk about the weather
We don’t have much to say now
And the past keeps calling on 
I may not call – won’t know how  
For a while

It’s the last conversation, I guess
I’m still glad for every single caress
We can celebrate a new night 
Or wait hidden in the twilight
There’s nothing left to smile
About

We’re on the road again, there’s no map
Coordinates are lost 
Run away and hide, or face the gap
Life will come at a cost
At a cost

At a cost

The dream we dreamt is gone now…

We’re on the road again, there’s no map
Coordinates are lost 
Run away and hide, or face the gap
Life will come at a cost
Oh, at a cost

On the road again, there’s no map
Coordinates are lost 
Run away and hide, or face the gap
Either way, love comes at a cost
At a cost

It’s the last day we have together 
Don’t be sad, nothing lasts forever
