[Verse 1] I found it in a carton by the sink Bent little handle, blue paint chipped pink You held it up like it was gold Said it still works when the rain gets cold [Verse 2] We took it out when the sky broke loose You laughed so hard, you stepped in a puddle too I watched the water bead and slide Off that paper roof you trusted with your life [Pre-Chorus] And all at once It made sense Tiny things Can hold the storm [Chorus] Paper umbrella Hold on, hold on Paper umbrella We can walk on Paper umbrella Through the heavy rain Paper umbrella We’ll be okay [Verse 3] Your sleeves were soaked, your shoes were done But you kept smiling at the run-down sun We never had much, not then Still you made a kingdom out of bent-up ends [Pre-Chorus] And all at once It made sense Tiny things Can hold the storm [Chorus] Paper umbrella Hold on, hold on Paper umbrella We can walk on Paper umbrella Through the heavy rain Paper umbrella We’ll be okay [Bridge] If the wind tears through If the road gets rough I’ll be right there When your arms get tired When your luck runs thin I’ll lift it up again [Chorus] Paper umbrella Hold on, hold on Paper umbrella We can walk on Paper umbrella Through the heavy rain Paper umbrella We’ll be okay
