Writing this song taught me that there's
no point in getting frustrated with things.
It took me two years to write this song. The verse and lyrics came super quickly，but then I got stuck. I couldn't write a chorus，bridge or intro/outtro that matched the verse well enough.
After about a year and a half of returning to the song every week and failing，I was just messing around on guitar one day when I played a random chord that suddenly made me write an intro，and then the chorus and bridge followed really quickly afterwards.
Things take their own time，and happen when they're ready to. I don't think this song would have been as good as it is if i'd tried to rush it. Good things come to those who wait！

寫這首歌讓我學會了有時不要過於糾結，一切都會水到渠成。
這首歌我寫了兩年多，主歌和歌詞很快完成，然後就止步不前了。之後的一年半裏，我不斷嘗試完成這首歌，都寫不出可以配得上主歌的副歌和結尾等等，直到某一天突然有靈感。
一切都會自然而然，如果我急於求成草草寫完，那就不會有這首paperman。Good things come to those who wait！

《Paperman》
You're just the paper man, you're yesterday's news,
You're full of stories, not one of them is true;
Oh don't forget about all of my worries or my strife,
You’ll bear in mind all that was done wrong,
but nothing that was right;
Words red ruby, cut right through me,
Paper ships sail on scarlet tides,
I can't run and I can't hide, sinking in plain sight,
Your words cut me now....
they crush me now...
they weigh me down...
Just the paper man, my fingers are black from your filth,
Your hands are stained red, blood money pays your bills;
Oh don't forget about all of your money or your pride,
I'll bear in mind all that you’ve done wrong,
You’ve never done what was right;
Oh sticks and stones may break my bones,
but the weight of your words has drowned me.
Yeah, they weigh me down, Yeah, they cross my bows,
Under the weight of your words,
I sink down,
down,
down,
down,
down…..
