[Verse 1] Back up, yeah, hold on 'Cause I think they’ve got it all wrong It’s not that I couldn't be true It’s that I didn't have you Folded a phantom out of ink and air Tall, kind, and standing right there He’d know the exact way to hold me And stitch up my edges in secrecy [Prechorus] The temporary cast came and went But none left a single testament [Chorus] Paperdoll, standing tall He has it all The right moves The right words The right moods Every signal and truth concurred [Post chorus] Don't call it demanding I deserve someone to match my enchanting [Verse 2] Lessons came and men left A repeating chorus of distress It's not that they weren't enough It's that I already wrote the rebuff 'Cause they balked at the weather in my mind Said I came with too much attitude, unkind Never knowing how to soothe the flame So I walked away from the hollow game [Prechorus] A parade of shadows marched through But none knew how to weather the view [Chorus] Paperdoll, standing tall He has it all The right moves The right words The right moods Every signal and truth concurred [Post chorus] Them stumbling hard on my missteps Doors slamming shut, the final effect [Bridge] Paperdoll living in my heart, sprinkle with a spark Step right out of the dark And take your mark Ready? Set! Go! Hey, let it flow until we overdose, fuck those ghosts [Verse 3] Still dizzy 'cause it's so brand new How this paperdoll finally stepped into view It's not that I don't believe It's that I'm learning how to receive Patient, calm, and ever kind Relaxing into this 'cause we share a mind Now I know it was meant to be Always remember one plus one is three [Outro] The right moves The right words The right moods Ready? Set! Go! Hey, let it flow until we overdose
