  • Baby, don't yell
    You're tearing a hole right through the walls
    Of everything we used to know
    I'm building a place, something amazing
    Just for the sake of saving us
    From under the sun
    Two plastic hearts with nowhere to run
    We're rolling the dice on whatever's left
    'Cause God only knows that we could use the rest

    Me and you, living under a paper moon
    'Cause real life just isn't right
    Let's fabricate
    Me and you, living under a paper moon
    This real life just isn't right
    Let's get away
    Let's fabricate

    Baby, don't fret
    At least we're alive with just enough breath
    To truly despise the hills in the carpet
    Knots in the ties that bind us
    So tightly to our waking lives
    I'll build up a house, I'll build up an army
    Of cellophane soldiers, cheap origami
    To take back a piece of whatever's left
    Of that little box that beats in your chest

    Me and you, living under a paper moon
    'Cause real life just isn't right
    Let's fabricate
    Me and you, living under a paper moon
    This real life just isn't right
    Let's get away
    Let's fabricate

    I'm building a place
    Something amazing just for the sake of saving us
    And whatever's left of that little box
    That beats in your chest

    Me and you, living under a paper moon
    'Cause real life just isn't right
    Let's fabricate
    Me and you, living under a paper moon
    This real life just isn't right
    Let's get away
    This real life just isn't right
    Let's fabricate Writer/s: ALEXANDER WILLIAM GASKARTH, MICHAEL JOSEPH GREEN
