I spilled the ink across the page
Tryin' 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 hmm, hmm, hmm
Got to say hmm, hmm, hmm

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 hmm, hmm, hmm
Got to say hmm, hmm, hmm
Go

Said I spilled the ink across the land
Tryin' 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 hmm, hmm, hmm
Got to say hmm, hmm, hmm
Got to say hmm
