Cardboard Crown (Piano Version)

[Verse 1] Found a coin in the drain By the laundromat sink Picked a fight with my day Lost my keys and my drink Mismatched socks, big grin Paint on my left sleeve If the world wants perfect It can wait on me [Pre-Chorus] I keep a little spark In my back pocket One good laugh And I rocket [Chorus] I’m a cardboard crown But I still hold up I bend, I bounce I don’t fold up I’m a cardboard crown Yeah, I’m built for the stumble Kick me around I still come back humble [Verse 2] Bus stop rain on my shoes Coffee ring on my hand Got a note in my coat Saying, “You’re still the plan” I’ve been lost, I’ve been late I’ve been chipped at the edge Still I show up intact With a song and a pledge [Pre-Chorus] I keep a little spark In my back pocket One good laugh And I rocket [Chorus] I’m a cardboard crown But I still hold up I bend, I bounce I don’t fold up I’m a cardboard crown Yeah, I’m built for the stumble Kick me around I still come back humble [Bridge] Let the rain write its name On my shoulders tonight I was made for the wind And the crooked road light [Final Chorus] I’m a cardboard crown But I still hold up I bend, I bounce I don’t fold up I’m a cardboard crown Yeah, I’m built for the stumble Kick me around I still come back humble
