PAPER MOONS. (Josef Salvat) C6  x32210 G/B x20033 [Verse 1] Underneath a paper moon Thinking ’bout a life with you It flickers in and out of frame I can’t ever make it look the same You went out again last night (mhh mh) We never win ’cause you won’t fight (mhh mh) There’s nothing I can do from here (mhh mh) Except pour myself another beer (mhhh mh) Mhhh mh [Pre-Chorus] Who am I to stand in your way If you want to lose yourself I don’t know what to say [Chorus] You keep on asking me to save you but it never works I don’t know why you’re so committed to your pain Another flat another line to numb the worst You are at it again [Verse 2] I know it’s nice to get away (mhh mh) Turn the past to ash and skip a day (mhh mh) The colours are too bright for you (mhh mh) But when you slip up I’m breaking too (mhh mh) Slipping under next to you Is that what you need me to do? I don’t wanna think no more (mhh mh) I’m not your father not your cure (mhh mh) Mhhh mh [Pre-Chorus] Who am I to stand in your way If you want to lose yourself I don’t know what to say [Chorus] You keep on asking me to save you but it never works I don’t know why you’re so committed to your pain Another flat another line to numb the worst You are at it again [Bridge] You gotta stop giving yourself to them You gotta stop I’d wish you would stop You gotta stop giving yourself to them                C6                      N.C. You gotta stop I’d wish you would stop [Pre-Chorus] Who am I to stand in your way If you want to lose yourself I don’t know what to say [Chorus] You keep on asking me to save you but it never works I don’t know why you’re so committed to your pain Another flat another line to numb the worst You are at it again [Outro] / /

La chanson évoque un sentiment de désespoir face à une relation compliquée. L'auteur se sent impuissant face aux choix de l'autre, qui semble s'accrocher à sa douleur et à des comportements autodestructeurs. Il exprime son désir d'aider, tout en réalisant que cela ne suffit jamais et que l'autre personne semble préférer fuir la réalité. La lumière de leurs espoirs brille faiblement, accentuée par l'image de cette lune de papier, symbole de fragilité et d'illusion. C'est une réflexion à la fois sur la difficulté de sauver quelqu'un et sur la lutte intérieure que chacun peut traverser.
