Lyrics
[Verse 1] You showed up late with mango tea Rain on your sleeves, keys in your teeth I was counting cracks in the tile You said, "Come on, stay a while" Your laugh hit first, then your name Like a match in a paper frame I had a whole plan to leave Then you sat right next to me [Pre-Chorus] And the room got small In the best way Your hand brushed mine Like it knew the way I tried to act cool But I won't lie My whole day turned When you looked up, right [Chorus] Dance in the paper boat Dance till the street feels slow You pull me out, pull me out Of the undertow Dance in the paper boat We don't need much, you know Just your hand, my heart And the night to go [Verse 2] We crossed the bridge by the open market Wet fruit stalls and a busted speaker You bought two limes from a little boy Said, "Life's better with a little noise" I saw your face in the shop glass shine Two tired strangers in a better light Then you leaned in, said my name And the whole world moved again [Pre-Chorus] And the air got warm In the middle of rain Your thumb traced circles On my waiting hand I wasn't lost I was just near The kind of right That arrives right here [Chorus] Dance in the paper boat Dance till the street feels slow You pull me out, pull me out Of the undertow Dance in the paper boat We don't need much, you know Just your hand, my heart And the night to go [Bridge] If tomorrow folds Like a loaded sky I'll keep this moment Bright in my mind Two cups, one song One borrowed glow You and me In a paper boat [Final Chorus] Dance in the paper boat Dance till the street feels slow You pull me out, pull me out Of the undertow Dance in the paper boat Now watch us light the road Just your hand, my heart And the night to go Dance in the paper boat Dance in the paper boat You pull me out, pull me out Of the undertow
