Lyrics
[Verse 1] I left your place in the dark Keys biting in my palm Crossed three blocks on the cut-through With your last text still warm The corner store was closing A dog barked at a bag I watched my breath keep moving Like it knew where I was at [Pre-Chorus] And every window told me The same old lie again That I could turn the corner And not remember when [Chorus] Paper cup moon, paper cup moon I keep walking, I keep walking Paper cup moon, paper cup moon Your name fades while the trains keep humming Paper cup moon, paper cup moon I hold my hurt and let it move me Paper cup moon, paper cup moon If I don’t go home, maybe it’ll lose me [Verse 2] A deli bag was swinging From a kid on the bus I passed the laundromat glow And felt the whole block judge us Your hoodie on my chair Your shoes by the door Funny how a whole apartment Can feel like a closed store [Pre-Chorus] And every crosswalk signal Kept switching in my chest One path leads to your shadow One path to what’s left [Chorus] Paper cup moon, paper cup moon I keep walking, I keep walking Paper cup moon, paper cup moon Your name fades while the trains keep humming Paper cup moon, paper cup moon I hold my hurt and let it move me Paper cup moon, paper cup moon If I don’t go home, maybe it’ll lose me [Bridge] Maybe I don’t need a reason Maybe I need a block Maybe I need this old ache To shake loose and talk So I let the rain on fire escapes Count out every step I’m not healed, I’m just moving That’s the best I’ve had yet [Chorus] Paper cup moon, paper cup moon I keep walking, I keep walking Paper cup moon, paper cup moon Your name fades while the trains keep humming Paper cup moon, paper cup moon I hold my hurt and let it move me Paper cup moon, paper cup moon If I don’t go home, maybe it’ll lose me
