[Verse 1] You hung a paper moon Above my crooked room And every little crack Held your light coming through I kept my hands so still Like I could hold the chill But tears kept tracing loops Down my sleeve and off the sill [Pre-Chorus] Say my name again Make the hurt feel small Spin that silver lie Till I almost fall [Chorus] Paper moon tears Paper moon tears Fall when you’re near And I still need you here Paper moon tears Paper moon tears Soft as they seem They break through my dreams [Verse 2] Your note on the table Folded like a prayer The ink ran in the sink But your shape stayed there I wore your afterglow Like rain on a windowpane Now I count the quiet Like it might call you again [Pre-Chorus] Say my name again Make the hurt feel small Spin that silver lie Till I almost fall [Chorus] Paper moon tears Paper moon tears Fall when you’re near And I still need you here Paper moon tears Paper moon tears Soft as they seem They break through my dreams [Bridge] If I let go now Will the sky stay blue? Or will that paper moon Just burn right through? I’m holding on To a fragile shine But the night keeps taking What was once mine [Chorus] Paper moon tears Paper moon tears Fall when you’re near And I still need you here Paper moon tears Paper moon tears Soft as they seem They break through my dreams
