We danced on a scratched-up floor
To a radio in a parking lot
You laughed when the rain came down
And we ran like we forgot

[Pre-Chorus]
Now the same old road
Feels brand new
Every turn I take
Leads back to you

My heart says, go
And I let it
One small spark
And I’m in it

[Chorus]
Take me back tonight
Take me back tonight
We were paper planes in the summer sky
Take me back tonight
Take me back tonight
I still feel that spark when I close my eyes

(Paper planes tonight)
(Oh, take me back)
(Paper planes tonight)

[Verse 2]
There’s a blue T-shirt on my chair
That still smells like your aftershave
A chipped red cup by the sink
From the night we stayed and stayed

We made a home out of small things
Like a Polaroid and a song on loop
Now every little corner here
Still pulls me back to you

[Pre-Chorus]
Now the same old road
Feels brand new
Every turn I take
Leads back to you

My heart says, go
And I let it
One small spark
And I’m in it

[Chorus]
Take me back tonight
Take me back tonight
We were paper planes in the summer sky
Take me back tonight
Take me back tonight
I still feel that spark when I close my eyes

(Paper planes tonight)
(Oh, take me back)
(Paper planes tonight)

[Bridge]
If the world turns slow
Let it turn
I’d cross that line
Just to learn

How we looked
In that golden glow
When the whole wide world
Was ours to hold

[Final Chorus]
Take me back tonight
Take me back tonight
We were paper planes in the summer sky
Take me back tonight
Take me back tonight
I still feel that spark when I close my eyes

Take me back tonight
Take me back tonight
Let the memory lift me one more time
Take me back tonight
Take me back tonight
Paper planes forever on my mind

(Paper planes tonight)
(Oh, take me back)
(Paper planes tonight)
