Here's what I thought
I don't mean to pry but
You're looking out of shape
You're thinking for hours
The tighter you hold on
The more it slips away
But apart from all of that
It turned out as it was planned
Relaxed and content, you buy a big house
Even take your shoes off in the sand
It pulls you down
It shakes your bones
Sending shivers down your spine
It lets you wake up in the night
I tell you it's a
Paper tiger
Sitting in the back of your mind
Paper tiger
Whistling, giggling and wondering
What's there to find
Confused, worried
You are so done
And you're getting good at that
The mind games are on
You realize you just play them too well
But apart from all that
You recognize it's a safe bet
Relaxed and content, you cannot complain
Apart from this, apart from that
It turns you down and into someone
Who has seen a lot of that
Like a ball and chain it drags you down
I tell you it's a
Paper tiger
Sitting in the Backseat of the car
Paper tiger
Whistling, giggling and wondering
How strange you are
All this time
You have been fighting
This daily grind
Trying not to fold
And running in circles
Won't change anything in your mind
Paper tiger
Paper tiger
Paper tiger
