[Verse 1] You folded the night into your coat Paper cup halo on the corner glow I kept your name in my back pocket Like a ticket stub from a better place [Pre-Chorus] And every window turns to silver When you look my way I start to drift My feet go quiet My head goes lighter Baby, I can’t fight that paper lift [Chorus] Paper moon life stay up with me Paper moon life float and be free You and I drift on the seam Paper moon life living the dream (Paper moon life) (Paper moon life) [Verse 2] Your laugh came soft through the screen door Like a secret wave from another shore We wrote our plans on a napkin edge Then watched them bend in the evening air [Pre-Chorus] And every window turns to silver When you look my way I start to drift My feet go quiet My head gets lighter Baby, I can’t fight that paper lift [Chorus] Paper moon life stay up with me Paper moon life float and be free You and I drift on the seam Paper moon life living the dream (Paper moon life) (Paper moon life) [Bridge] If morning comes let it come slow Leave the world at the edge below We’ll trace that line between dust and blue Till the whole wide sky fits me and you [Final Chorus] Paper moon life stay up with me Paper moon life float and be free You and I drift on the seam Paper moon life living the dream Paper moon life don’t let go now Paper moon life we know how You and I still in the beam Paper moon life living the dream
