[Verse 1] I found a paper umbrella In the glove box by your fries Little blue from last July Still folded up and shy You said, "keep it for the rain" Then you drove off laughing Now it sits there in my hand Like a plan that kept on happening [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I was looking For a sign in the wrong place Maybe all I needed Was that smudged-up, taped-up face [Chorus] Paper umbrella, paper umbrella Hold me up anyway Paper umbrella, paper umbrella Let the gray sky play Paper umbrella, paper umbrella I don't mind the leaks If I can keep one small thing That still feels like you to me [Verse 2] At the bus stop on Maple Kids were jumping in the puddles One old dog shook himself dry Like he'd won a little struggle I laughed too loud, then went quiet When my phone lit up and died Guess some things stay in your pocket Even when the whole world slides [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I was looking For a sign in the wrong place Maybe all I needed Was that smudged-up, taped-up face [Chorus] Paper umbrella, paper umbrella Hold me up anyway Paper umbrella, paper umbrella Let the gray sky play Paper umbrella, paper umbrella I don't mind the leaks If I can keep one small thing That still feels like you to me [Bridge] And if the storm comes leaning in I'll stand where I stand With a cheap little shelter And a hole in my hand [Chorus] Paper umbrella, paper umbrella Hold me up anyway Paper umbrella, paper umbrella Let the gray sky play Paper umbrella, paper umbrella I don't mind the leaks If I can keep one small thing That still feels like you to me
