[Verse 1] Found a paper crane On the laundromat floor Blue ink on its wing Said "come on, want more" I put it in my pocket Like a lucky little flame You laughed at the wrinkle And you asked me for my name [Pre-Chorus] We took the long way home Past the empty fruit stand You spun that folded bird Right out of my hand And something in the air Turned bright, then strange Like a tiny little window Catching light and change [Chorus] Paper crane parade Paper crane parade Fold me into Tuesday And let it all cascade Paper crane parade Paper crane parade I was made for the moment When you called my name [Verse 2] At the corner store You bought two lemon drinks We sat on the curb Counting out the cracks and links You said every little thing Can turn if you believe So we taped the crane to your sleeve And watched it almost breathe [Pre-Chorus] We took the long way home Past the empty fruit stand You spun that folded bird Right out of my hand And something in the air Turned bright, then strange Like a tiny little window Catching light and change [Chorus] Paper crane parade Paper crane parade Fold me into Tuesday And let it all cascade Paper crane parade Paper crane parade I was made for the moment When you called my name [Bridge] If the sky comes down I'll hold the crease If the road goes wild I'll keep that peace One small sign One brave little shake We don't need forever Just this bright mistake [Final Chorus] Paper crane parade Paper crane parade Fold me into Tuesday And let it all cascade Paper crane parade Paper crane parade I was made for the moment When you called my name
