Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Found a paper cup moon
On the fence by your porch
Half full of rain
Half full of more
Your screen-door screeched
Like it knew my name
You laughed so quick
Then the whole night changed
[Pre-Chorus]
I was standing there
With my shoes in the dust
You said, "come a little closer"
And I said, "I trust"
Now the air went sweet
Like a snapped peach skin
I could feel my heart
Trying to jump back in
[Chorus]
Paper cup moon
Hold it up, hold it up
Paper cup moon
Fill me up, fill me up
We were barely awake
Still we burned so blue
Paper cup moon
I was falling for you
Paper cup moon
I was falling for you
(Paper cup moon)
[Verse 2]
You had jam on your thumb
From that crooked old jar
And a red porch light
Blinking through the yard
The dog kept circling
Like he knew the score
You slid me a smile
And I wanted more
[Pre-Chorus]
I was standing there
With my tongue tied tight
You said, "don't overthink it"
So I stepped inside
Now the ice in my cup
Turned soft in my hand
Like the whole wide world
Was trying to understand
[Chorus]
Paper cup moon
Hold it up, hold it up
Paper cup moon
Fill me up, fill me up
We were barely awake
Still we burned so blue
Paper cup moon
I was falling for you
(Paper cup moon)
[Bridge]
If it spills on the ground
Let it shine there too
Even cheap little things
Can make a night brand new
So I tipped that moon
And I let it ring
You smiled in the dark
Like you knew that thing
[Final Chorus]
Paper cup moon
Hold it up, hold it up
Paper cup moon
Fill me up, fill me up
We were barely awake
Still we burned so blue
Paper cup moon
I was falling for you
(Paper cup moon)
Paper cup moon
Paper cup moon
Hold it up, hold it up
Paper cup moon
It still points me to you
