[Verse 1] Old box on the shelf Dust on the lid I found your blue ribbon And the note you hid Kitchen table light Spilling on the floor One old photograph I know by heart [Pre-Chorus] Time keeps moving on But it leaves a trace In the shape of your smile In the line of your face [Chorus] Paper frames, paper frames Hold the days, hold the names Paper frames, paper frames They keep the little things alive Years can turn, years can change But the heart learns every grain Paper frames, paper frames Yeah, they keep us in the light [Verse 2] There’s my first brave step In your worn-out shoes Your hand at my back When I didn't know what to do Rain on the window glass Sunday clothes pinned out We were never made of gold But look at us now [Pre-Chorus] Time keeps moving on Still it bends around Every silly face Every vow we found [Chorus] Paper frames, paper frames Hold the days, hold the names Paper frames, paper frames They keep the little things alive Years can turn, years can change But the heart learns every grain Paper frames, paper frames Yeah, they keep us in the light [Bridge] So take one more Before it slips away Little hands, big laugh Let the moment stay If the road gets long And your hope feels thin Lay it by your bed And begin again [Final Chorus] Paper frames, paper frames Hold the days, hold the names Paper frames, paper frames They keep the little things alive Years can turn, years can change But the heart learns every grain Paper frames, paper frames Yeah, they keep us in the light [Outro] One more picture One more smile Hold it close For a while
