📄 Lyrics: The Paperboy
(00:16)
(Verse 1) His father said: you’re old enough to earn something on your own A paper route, a bike, and streets he’s always known Just early mornings, almost night, easy money, just a job, Tossing news, so harmless then — at least that’s what he thought. So he takes the route to make his old man proud, Not knowing quiet streets can feel way too loud. He’s the paperboy, riding through the haze, He knows this town in its quiet phase.
(01:27)
(Chorus) He’s the paperboy, where secrets sleep, Some headlines spoken, some he keeps. He’s the paperboy.
(02:01)
(Verse 2) Before sunrise past the same dark house he rides, A whisper in the silence that his young mind hears as cries. One porch swing screams, unsettling, when the paper lands, Some papers stay for days untouched, never taken in by hands. A shadow in one window never moves an inch, He pedals faster, heart pulled tight, his courage starts to pinch. He’s the paperboy, riding through the gray, Knowing things he shouldn’t know this early day.
(02:43)
(Chorus) He’s the paperboy, before the town awakes, Some truths arrive before the headlines break.
He’s the paperboy.
(03:23)
(Verse 3) A dog growls low behind a fence he has to pass, He can’t throw far enough, he rides straight through the grass. He checks his chain in panic, hears it click too loud, What if it snaps? No way to run, no way around. An old man waits too early, takes the paper from his hand, That stare feels wrong, like he knows things no one understands. He tells himself it’s all in his head, Just early routes and things unsaid.
(04:07)
(Bridge) But fear rides with him every mile, And daylight feels so far a while.
(04:19)
(Chorus) He’s the paperboy, riding through the dawn, seeing things that feel like something’s going on. He’s the paperboy, Knowing signs, not fate, Catching hints he cannot yet articulate. He's the paperboy.
(04:42)
(Outro) Some mornings end, but questions stay, The town wakes up — he rides away.
