[Verse 1] I held it in my hands That paper moon Folded from your map And your perfume too It glowed on my windowsill Thin as a vow Then the corner caught the night And it split right now [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I could hear it crack Soft at first Then all at once The sky in my arms [Chorus] Paper moon shatters Paper moon shatters In my palms tonight Paper moon shatters Paper moon shatters And I still reach for light [Verse 2] Little silver pieces On the floor Your name in the dust By the bedroom door I sweep them with my sleeve Like a secret kept But the smallest shard of you Still cuts the rest [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I could hear it crack Soft at first Then all at once The sky in my arms [Chorus] Paper moon shatters Paper moon shatters In my palms tonight Paper moon shatters Paper moon shatters And I still reach for light [Bridge] If it was only a dream Why does it sting? Why do I still feel A phantom ring? I press the fragments close Let them glow Even broken things Can learn to show [Final Chorus] Paper moon shatters Paper moon shatters In my palms tonight Paper moon shatters Paper moon shatters And I still reach for light Paper moon shatters Paper moon shatters But you stay in sight
