Paper Boat in Pines

[Verse 1]
I woke up in the pines again
One more fork, one more bend
Boots full of muddy years
Hands full of borrowed fears

I took the road I took
Then I kept on looking back
Every turn I never made
Still cuts like an old train track

[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep asking why
To the dark and to the sky
Was there a sign I missed
Or did I choose this twist

[Chorus]
Little boat, hold on
Little boat, hold on
On this endless sea
What is made of me?

Little boat, hold on
Little boat, hold on
If I drift all night
Will I find the reason why

[Verse 2]
Some days I blame the wind
Some days I blame my name
For the doors I didn't touch
For the fire I didn't claim

I see the men I could have been
Walking trails I let go by
They look back through the trees
Then they vanish in the tide

[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep asking why
To the dark and to the sky
Was there a sign I missed
Or did I choose this twist

[Chorus]
Little boat, hold on
Little boat, hold on
On this endless sea
What is made of me?

Little boat, hold on
Little boat, hold on
If I drift all night
Will I find the reason why

[Bridge]
Maybe meaning isn't found
Maybe it gets built
In the scars, in the smoke
In the hands that never wilt

If I can't turn back now
Then I’ll learn the shape of loss
Even lost can learn to steer
Even broken still can cross

[Chorus]
Little boat, hold on
Little boat, hold on
On this endless sea
What is made of me?

Little boat, hold on
Little boat, hold on
If I drift all night
Will I find the reason why
