Lyrics
[Verse 1] I keep my name In the pocket seam Folded small Like a grocery receipt You say stay here I say maybe I’ve been learning How to leave [Pre-Chorus] I hold on Then I don’t I make vows Then I won’t My hands shake When you ask why I don’t have A better lie [Chorus] Paper hands, paper hands I try, I try Paper hands, paper hands I let it slide Paper hands, paper hands I’m still here tonight Paper hands, paper hands But I want to try [Verse 2] There’s a mug ring On the old wood grain Little circles From a day I can’t name The door sticks When the air goes cold I hear my heart In the hallway hold [Pre-Chorus] I hold on Then I don’t I make plans Then I won’t My throat goes tight When you ask why I don’t have A better lie [Chorus] Paper hands, paper hands I try, I try Paper hands, paper hands I let it slide Paper hands, paper hands I’m still here tonight Paper hands, paper hands But I want to try [Bridge] If you take my palm Don’t read it like a map It’s only a crease And a coming back I’m not made of stone I’m not made of gold I just need a while I just need to hold [Chorus] Paper hands, paper hands I try, I try Paper hands, paper hands I let it slide Paper hands, paper hands I’m still here tonight Paper hands, paper hands But I want to try
