Lyrics
[Intro] Hold on Hold on [Verse 1] You left your coat on my chair And a postcard half-torn in two I found a train stub in the sleeve With your handwriting through and through You said, “don’t wait up for me” But you circled my name in blue Now I’m folding this tiny map Like it’s leading me back to you [Pre-Chorus] And I know, I know We don’t make it easy But your laugh still hits When the room gets breezy If you’re halfway gone Baby, come back slowly I’m still here With the door unlocked for you [Chorus] Paper moon ticket, take me there Paper moon ticket, meet me there (meet me there) One more night, one more chance Put your hand back in mine Paper moon ticket, take me there Paper moon ticket, meet me there (meet me there) If the world keeps moving fast We can slow it down tonight [Verse 2] Your tea goes cold on the sill My phone glows blue in the dark I can hear your shoes in the hall Even when you’re miles apart You always say what you feel Like you’re stepping off a ledge Then you smile with that sideways look And the whole thing swings back to edge [Pre-Chorus] And I know, I know We don’t make it easy But your voice still lands Like a song I can’t release If you’re halfway gone Baby, come back slowly I’m still here With the door unlocked for you [Chorus] Paper moon ticket, take me there Paper moon ticket, meet me there (meet me there) One more night, one more chance Put your hand back in mine Paper moon ticket, take me there Paper moon ticket, meet me there (meet me there) If the world keeps moving fast We can slow it down tonight [Bridge] I don’t need forever Just your real hands on the table No grand speech No clean ending Just stay when you’re able Let the kettle sing Let the whole house breathe Come home to the small things Come home to me [Final Chorus] Paper moon ticket, take me there Paper moon ticket, meet me there (meet me there) One more night, one more chance Put your hand back in mine Paper moon ticket, take me there Paper moon ticket, meet me there (meet me there) If the world keeps moving fast We can slow it down tonight Paper moon ticket, stay with me Paper moon ticket, stay with me (stay with me)
