Paper Cup Moon

[Verse 1] I found a map in the back seat Folded up like a bird You drew a star in the margin Didn’t say a single word A paper cup moon in the window Half gone, still shining through I kept the good stuff for later Then later came for you [Pre-Chorus] Now the whole room leans When your name goes by My hands know where to go Before I even try [Chorus] Paper cup moon, stay up with me Paper cup moon, don’t set so easily I know, I know We glow, we glow Paper cup moon, hold that line Paper cup moon, give me one more night I know, I know We glow, we glow [Verse 2] You left your scarf on the doorknob Blue like a winter bruise I wear it when the house gets quiet When I don’t know what to do The kettle clicks in the kitchen A train cuts past the block I tell myself I’m moving forward But I circle back a lot [Pre-Chorus] Now the whole room leans When your name goes by My hands know where to go Before I even try [Chorus] Paper cup moon, stay up with me Paper cup moon, don’t set so easily I know, I know We glow, we glow Paper cup moon, hold that line Paper cup moon, give me one more night I know, I know We glow, we glow [Bridge] If I lose my way Pull me by the sleeve Set that little light Right back over me I’m not asking much Just a sign, a spark Something in the dark Something in the dark [Chorus] Paper cup moon, stay up with me Paper cup moon, don’t set so easily I know, I know We glow, we glow Paper cup moon, hold that line Paper cup moon, give me one more night I know, I know We glow, we glow
