[Verse 1] You came in late with rain on your sleeve Train card folded, eyes hard to read My coat was soaked, your smile was sharp You said, "Let's move," and we broke the dark Tomodachi ghosts in the station glass We were too young to let things pass You bit your lip, I laughed too loud Then the room went small inside the crowd [Pre-Chorus] Spin it around Don't slow down Hands on the edge Hold on now The floor is shaking My name in your mouth One more step And we go out [Chorus] Paper lantern riot (paper lantern riot) Pull me close tonight Paper lantern riot (paper lantern riot) Burning soft and bright We fall, we rise We run on time Paper lantern riot You and I [Verse 2] Your sneakers white, my jacket torn We danced through puddles till three was gone Arcade coins and a chipped ring light You made a kingdom out of that night Broke my guard with a crooked grin Said, "Stay with me, let the noise begin" I said, "Maybe," but I meant "Yes" Now my heart hits hard in my chest [Pre-Chorus] Spin it around Don't slow down Hands on the edge Hold on now The floor is shaking My name in your mouth One more step And we go out [Chorus] Paper lantern riot (paper lantern riot) Pull me close tonight Paper lantern riot (paper lantern riot) Burning soft and bright We fall, we rise We run on time Paper lantern riot You and I [Bridge] If the morning takes the shape of doubt We'll kick the door and let it out One last spin, one last spark We make our own light in the dark [Final Chorus] Paper lantern riot (paper lantern riot) Pull me close tonight Paper lantern riot (paper lantern riot) Burning soft and bright We fall, we rise We run on time Paper lantern riot You and I Paper lantern riot (paper lantern riot) Till the floor turns white Paper lantern riot (paper lantern riot) Won't let go tonight
