Lyrics
I found a paper cup moon
On the dashboard seat
Half a rainstorm left
On the chain-link street
You said "Let's take the long way"
So I let it be
Your laugh hit my window
Like a loose gold key
And the whole night tilted
Just a little bit
Your hand in my sleeve
Made the dark feel lit
I was almost nowhere
Then you pulled me through
Now I know what a small world
Can do
Paper cup moon
You hold me up
Paper cup moon
Just one small cup
And I sip that shine
When the day runs cold
Paper cup moon
You make me bold
(Paper cup moon)
You bit into a peach ring
At the corner store
Midsummer sticky
On the linoleum floor
Your shoes left blue dust
By the exit mat
I still taste that moment
When you looked like that
And the whole night tilted
Just a little bit
Your name on my tongue
Like a perfect fit
I was almost gone
Then you pulled me through
Now I know what a small world
Can do
Paper cup moon
You hold me up
Paper cup moon
Just one small cup
And I sip that shine
When the day runs cold
Paper cup moon
You make me bold
(Paper cup moon)
If the sky goes empty
And the road goes thin
I'll follow that shimmer
Back to you again
One little circle
In a busted blue view
Still enough to lead me
Still enough for you
Paper cup moon
You hold me up
Paper cup moon
Just one small cup
And I sip that shine
When the day runs cold
Paper cup moon
You make me bold
(Paper cup moon)
