I spilled the ink across the page
Tryin' to spell your name
So I fold it up and 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
Garbage man
I gotta say mm, mm-mm
I gotta say mm, mm-mm
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
I gotta say mm, mm-mm
I gotta say mm, mm-mm
I spilled the ink across the land
Tryin' to spell your name
Up and down the letter goes
Paper aeroplane
It hasn't flown the seven seas to you
But it's on its way
It goes through the hands into someone else
To find you, girl
I gotta say mm
I gotta say mm, mm-mm
I gotta say mm, mm-mm
I gotta say mm, mm-mm
I gotta say mm, mm-mm
I gotta say mm, mm-mm
I gotta say mm
