I spilled the ink across the page trying to spell your name   So I fold it up and I flick it out   Paper Aeroplane   It won't fly the seven seas to you   'Cause It didn't leave my room   But it awaits the hands of someone else   The garbage man      Got to say mmm mmm mmm   Got to say mmm mmm mmm      So he opens it up and reads it out to all his friends   Amongst the crowd a heart will break and a heart will mend   He walks on home tired from work   The letter falls from his hand   He reaches out only to catch the sky   It's gone with the wind      Got to say mmm mmm mmm   Got to say mmm mmm mmm      I spilled the ink across the land   Trying to spell your name   Up and down there it goes   Paper Aeroplane   It hasn't flown the seven seas to you   But it's on its way   It goes through the hands   Then to someone else   To find you girl      Got to say mmm
