[Verse 1] Found a paper cup On a station bench Rain had folded maps In the gutter’s edge You said, “keep it moving” Like you knew my name Then you laughed too fast And I did the same [Pre-Chorus] Your sleeve had a coffee stain Your shoes had a broken lace You looked like a dare I took anyway [Chorus] Paper cup comet Burning through the day Paper cup comet Take the dull away Spin me once, spin me twice Drag my quiet into light Paper cup comet I’m gone when you say [Verse 2] You drew a fake mustache On a takeout box Said your luck was bad But your hands were not You split the last peach With a plastic knife Talked about a train That never got your life [Pre-Chorus] Your grin hit hard Like a loose arcade One little spark And the whole room swayed [Chorus] Paper cup comet Burning through the day Paper cup comet Take the dull away Spin me once, spin me twice Drag my quiet into light Paper cup comet I’m gone when you say [Bridge] Maybe it’s nothing Maybe that’s the trick One small strange thing And I’m all in it [Break] Oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh [Final Chorus] Paper cup comet Burning through the day Paper cup comet Take the dull away Spin me once, spin me twice Drag my quiet into light Paper cup comet I’m gone when you say Paper cup comet Don’t let me stay
