[singer A] You showed up with rain on your sleeves At the corner store by the train You bought gum and a paper umbrella And laughed when the wind said your name I said, "You always move like a rumor" You said, "Only when I'm with you" (Only when I'm with you) Now my heart keeps folding itself Like something small I can’t lose [transition] [singer B] The world weighs heavy on my toast My cappuccino lost its purpose The morning sun forgot my name My waffle questions every service My house is not a home these days Since hot chocolate walked away She packed her mug and found true love With a cheese danish yesterday Don’t even mention my spoon We haven’t spoken since June The toaster says it’s not his fault But the blender changed its tune My tea has no balcony My latte judges me The refrigerator keeps my dreams Locked somewhere behind the brie My oatmeal stares into the void My coffee table sighs with grief We’re just appliances and drinks Searching for emotional relief [transition] [singer A] If the sky comes down I’ll be right there Hands full of thunder Still I don’t care You look at me once And the whole room glows Like a match in a jar When the dark moves close Paper umbrella Hold me up now Paper umbrella Spin me around If the storm comes calling We can stand our ground Paper umbrella Don’t let go now (Paper umbrella) [melodic interlude] [singer B] I lost my iron in the war The vacuum won’t discuss the past My chocolate chip cookie stayed outside Believing storms would never last My orange juice avoids my calls My cereal sleeps in the sink The dishwasher knows everything But never says just what to think Where is the shore? (dramatic pause) Seriously… Where is it? My mind’s an ocean… The ocean is drifting… I’m keeping still… WHERE IS THE SHORE? My tea has no balcony My spoon remembers tomorrow The butter left a note that read “I can no longer spread this sorrow.” My cappuccino found itself My blender married rain My cheese danish forgave us all …and somehow the toaster still knows my name. [singer A] Maybe it’s cheap Maybe it bends Maybe it tears Before this ends But I like the way You make me brave With something small In your careless hands Paper umbrella Hold me up now Paper umbrella Spin me around If the storm comes calling We can stand our ground Paper umbrella Don’t let go now Paper umbrella Hold me up now (Paper umbrella)
