Lyric

Found a paper cup moon

On a train seat by my knee

It had a bent little smile

Like it knew a thing about me

I was counting all my exits

You were counting cracks in the floor

Then you laughed at the bad luck

And I wanted one more

Just one more stop

One more sign

One more reason

To cross that line

Your hand brushed mine

Like a spark in rain

And the whole gray week

Went golden again

Paper cup moon

Stay for a while

Paper cup moon

Put that look back on your face

Paper cup moon

I’m coming around

Paper cup moon

You make this place feel safe

At the corner store window

You were picking out gum

Said your luck runs in circles

Mine just comes undone

I had three coins left

And a bruise on my pride

You said “take your time”

Then you stayed by my side

Just one more step

One more chance

One more little

Unplanned dance

Your name on my tongue

Taste like rain

And the whole gray week

Went golden again

Paper cup moon

Stay for a while

Paper cup moon

Put that look back on your face

Paper cup moon

I’m coming around

Paper cup moon

You make this place feel safe

If the night folds up

We can keep the crease

If the doors all lock

We can borrow ease

I don’t need forever

I just need tonight

And your paper cup moon

Burning soft and bright

Paper cup moon

Stay for a while

Paper cup moon

Put that look back on your face

Paper cup moon

I’m coming around

Paper cup moon

You make this place feel safe

Paper cup moon

Paper cup moon

Stay for a while
