Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left your scarf on my chair Still smells like your soap I thought i'd fold it away But i kept it by the door You said, "don't overthink it" So i went for a walk Past the fruit stand on the corner With the peaches in a box [Pre-Chorus] And i felt my chest go light When the wind hit the street Like maybe losing you Was just making room for me [Chorus] Paper lanterns in my room Little lights that lean to blue I can let them go, i can let them go I don't need the old you Paper lanterns in my room Burning soft and pulling through I can let them go, i can let them go And still keep the good ones too [Verse 2] I changed the sheets on the bed Put your book on the shelf Found a shell in your jacket From the beach in del mar I laughed out loud in the kitchen At a stain on my mug You hated when i sang low Now i'm humming for fun [Pre-Chorus] And i felt my chest go light When the rain hit the glass Like every door that closes Is a hand that helps me pass [Chorus] Paper lanterns in my room Little lights that lean to blue I can let them go, i can let them go I don't need the old you Paper lanterns in my room Burning soft and pulling through I can let them go, i can let them go And still keep the good ones too [Bridge] Maybe love is not a lock Maybe it's a doorway left ajar Maybe i was meant to learn How to carry all these stars [Final chorus] Paper lanterns in my room Little lights that lean to blue I can let them go, i can let them go I don't need the old you Paper lanterns in my room Burning soft and pulling through I can let them go, i can let them go And still keep the good ones too
